  • Descrição: With rising concerns for food security and climate adaptation, urban gardening and urban agriculture have emerged as a rising agenda for urban resilience around the world. In East Asia, a variety of initiatives have emerged in recent years with different levels of institutional support. Focusing on Taipei, where a vibrant urban agriculture movement has been unleashed in recent years, this article examines the ongoing outcomes of the city’s new ‘Garden City Initiative’, which supports the establishment of urban gardens including community gardens, rooftop gardens and school gardens. Based on interviews and participant observations during the initial period of advocacy, planning and implementation between 2014 and 2017, this study examines the background of the programme, the involvement of governmental and non-governmental actors and the programme’s ongoing implementation. Based on the findings, the article further reflects upon their implications for the practices of urban governance in the face of contemporary environmental, political and social challenges. The case of Taipei suggests a model in which policy formation and implementation may require opportunistic actions involving a variety of actors and organisations in both institutions and the civil society. Rather than dramatic changes or instant institutional realignment, the effort may require strategic adaptation of the existing bureaucratic structure, while mobilising its strengths and resources. In addition, despite the critical role of civil society organisations, the Taipei case also illustrates a considerable public-sector investment, distinct from the predominant model of neoliberal governance that has been associated with urban gardening programmes elsewhere. 随着对粮食安全和气候适应问题的关注不断上升，城市园艺和城市农业已成为全球城市复原力方面日益突出的议程。在东亚，近年来出现了各种各样的举措，得到了不同程度的制度性支持。本文重点介绍台北的案例。该城市近年来发动了充满活力的都市农业运动。我们探讨了台北新的“田园城市倡议”的持续成果，该举措支持建立包括社区田园、屋顶田园和学校田园在内的城市田园。 根据2014年至2017年期间在初期倡导、规划和实施阶段的访谈和参与者观察，本研究考察了该计划的背景、政府和非政府主体的参与、以及计划的持续实施。基于调查结果，本文进一步思考了这些举措对面临当代环境、政治和社会挑战的城市治理实践的影响。台北案例提出了一种模式，其中，政策的制定和实施可能需要体制内和民间社会中各种主体和组织的机会主义行动。这种尝试可能需要对现有官僚结构进行策略性调整，同时调动其优势和资源，而不是进行剧烈的变革或立即进行机构重组。此外，尽管民间社会组织发挥了关键作用，但台北案例还显示出相当大的公共部门投资。这与主流的新自由主义治理模式不同，在其他地方，后者往往与城市田园计划联系在一起。
