Green infrastructure of the cities is closely connected and came out from idea of urban farming and garden allotments, which represents the practice of cultivating, processing and distributing food in or around urban areas. The main objective of urban agriculture in the past was to support the self-sufficient function of the population associated with health and social benefits for growers. However, it was also always associated with many other ecosystem services for the entire population of the town, whose significance and perception change over time and under different economic, political and environmental circumstances. Allotments represented an important element of active urban recreation in a wealthy environment and age-unlimited spending free time. Allotment sites also improve the quality of the environment with so-called microclimatic-hygienic functions. The biological control and maintenance of genetic diversity are also best delivered when green infrastructure is combined with urban agriculture. Gardening settlements also serve as a reserve of agricultural land in cities in case of conflicts or natural disasters. They are largely coherent with the formal Slow City agenda as one of the alternative urban development frameworks.
