Abstract: |
The paper firstly introduces the concept of the Allotment in England, illustrates its formation and evolution, and summarizes the characteristics of its development. Then the city of Newcastle upon Tyne is taken as an example to show the present development of the Allotment. The institutional design and mechanism are also discussed in this case. At last, based on the experience of the Allotment development in England, some implications are put forward for the ongoing problems and the future development of vegetable plots in cities of China. |
