Abstract :Urban areas are generally residential areas that are not considered important in terms of agricultural production. Since agricultural activities are not considered important in urban areas, cities with high population density, especially in metropolitan cities, are deprived of agricultural production areas. When considered from this point of view, cities come to the fore as places where food is consumed, sold and easily available. Although agricultural activities seem to be far from urban areas, the concepts of agriculture and city cannot be considered separately. One of the tools in question for ensuring sustainable urban development is urban agriculture. Urban agriculture is a phenomenon that enables communities in many regions to interact on many issues, beyond being a simple task. Within the scope of this study, the city area of Elazig province was examined from the perspective of urban agriculture. Various suggestions are presented to ensure sustainability in Elazig province, to develop more accurate insights into regional and urban food supply, to increase the importance of urban aesthetics, urban land use, urban environmental management, public health and economic development.Keywords : Sürdürülebilirlik, Kentsel tarım, Kentsel tasarım, Elazığ.
