Abstract
This article presents an alternative approach to understanding urban farming. Through the lens of feminist theories of regenerative politics, it demonstrates that urban farming can be rearticulated as/for/from within a transformative planning practice. Drawing on planning practices in the less studied terrain of Hong Kong—the New Territories bordering mainland China—this article illustrates how urban farming can be seen as an enabling, cross-scale practice that nurtures the micro-politics of democracy in everyday life to reconnect and regenerate theories, practices, and boundaries. ?
