Migration from village to city is a worldwide trend in Europe, the urban population exceeds 73% and in Bulgaria the urban population is over 74%. A major task of our time is to provide adequate food supplies to the growing urban population in a sustainable way, while protecting the vital functions and biodiversity of the global environment. Feeding a growing population is likely to be even more difficult in context the current and potential changes in climatic conditions. Urban agriculture is a good opportunity to improve the environment, partially utilization of the agricultural land lost as a result of urbanization, and provide fresh food to the residents of the area. Almost all crops, as well as bee, can be grown in urban settings. Vegetables are especially suitable because of the relatively short life cycle. Depending on the growing conditions, theirs production are ready after 35-40 days. One of the project tasks is to compare the possibilities of growing vegetables on the terrace of a public building and agricultural areas within the city of Sofia. The present study evaluates the impact of urban conditions on the development of crop with a short vegetation period - spinach
