Abstract: The specialization in urban agriculture includes the reality that agriculture has always been viewed as an activity carried out in the rural areas away from cities, even when agriculture has been viewed as the foundation of civilizations. According to Solomon, food and civilization are the two major elements of humanity, In addition to this, the urban farming techniques should be based on the location of the urban farms in the city, along with the adequate use of water sources. One more thing that is important is resource management by growing different types of crops. The skills required by an urban farmer are innovation and problem-solving skills. The fact is that horizontal agriculture has been the foundation of the creation of civilizations; however, the evolution of the three basic elements resulted in the division of agriculture from the city, which means that the search for alternative urban agriculture started.
