Globally the population is increasing in urban areas due to migration and new-borns, and with a higher population increases the risk. Cities require stressing on keeping city’s assets safe by building urban resiliency. This research focuses on enhancing Jeddah’s urban resiliency through urban farming. The goal of the research is to contribute to finding an urban farming framework applicable to Jeddah to enhance the city’s produce resiliency and mitigate climate change and socioeconomic challenges. The research objectives are finding the type and form of urban farming suitable for Jeddah and developing recommendations to adopt urban farming. The research methodology is by correlational case studies and literature review through books, journals, interviews, live conferences, and case studies.
