Cover Story: As we progress through the 21st century, it is increasingly apparent that sustainability is no longer an option but an obligation towards future generations. Cities must be transformed into greener and friendlier spaces for people. For leisure or food production, urban gardens are playing an increasing role in urban design. We are faced with an opportunity to improve air quality, recover biodiversity, and provide fresh food to the population, reducing the transportation of goods. However, urban space constitutes a non-natural environment, transformed over centuries by humans. The soil, the part of the earth's surface that supports life, is also quite unknown. Addressing these issues is an enormous challenge and, as part of this challenge, in this paper, the possible risks and behavior of highly transformed soils in cities have been evaluated.
