Continuous productive urban landscape (CPUL) is an urban design concept integrating food growing into the design of cities through joining existing open space and disused sites into a linear landscape that connects to the countryside. The term was first used by Bohn & Viljoen Architects in 2004 at a time when making the connection between food and the city was unusual.'Review of Foodprint symposium' in, VOLUME magazine blog, (July 2009);
