Urban gardens represent a promising strategy for adaptation to climate change, reducing socio-environmental vulnerability, promoting food security and fostering community development. To strengthen social and environmental public policies, the objective of this work is to prioritize suitable locations for the development of urban agriculture initiatives in the municipality of Betim, Minas Gerais using map algebra based on biotic, abiotic and socioeconomic spatial data of both restriction and significance. As a result, a synthesis map was produced, identifying priority areas for establishing urban gardens in the municipality. The Citrolândia region (south of the municipality) has neighborhoods (São Salvador, Conjunto Habitacional Dicalino Cabral, and São Jorge) with high priority areas for the creation of urban community gardens.
