| Abstract | The world which is now dominated by cities has to address the issue of urban sustainability. Though the ecology of the cities is deeply influenced by urban agriculture, the discussions about that has not been included with due importance in the urban planning discourse emphasising on smart cities. The need for self-reliant cities has been felt deeply by all when the world was struck by the global pandemic COVID-19, which halted the normal supply chain creating a panic in the urban areas that primarily are consumption-oriented. The need for modern version of 'back-yard gardening' is being reconsidered to add to the viability of the bustling cities. In the context of the COVID-19 situation, this article tries to identify the issue of food security in today's modern cities and to assess the practical avenues available to achieve self-reliance and sustainability. Urban food production is not only a matter of scientific curiosity but now has become an urban policy issue and development tool. Both change in urban developmental plans and 'urban' mindset in the 'new normal' will help the cities in encountering the coming hard days and be prepared for such outbreaks in future, making cities truly smart and sustainable. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.
