Food and vegetable security is an important aspect of urban resilience, and the basis for the survival of large cities. However, unexpected events or weather factors may cause sudden interruptions in the supply chain, which may have a significant impact on the life of large cities. Vertical agriculture can use the limited vertical space of the city to solve the production and supply problems of food and vegetables, effectively reduce pollution, save water and logistics costs. This article sorts out and summarizes the modern vertical agriculture technology, the built examples of vertical farms and related technologies, and puts forward the design methods of lighting, building materials, energy and other aspects of vertical farms, as well as the urban layout and development strategies of vertical farms.
