Farm City is especially inspiring. @7Wannabe5 has mentioned this one before. One of the most memorable things Carpenter did was trolling restaurant dumpsters for scraps for free food to raise a pig on her Oakland city lot.
The Essential Urban Farmer is very dense; I have put off reading it until I'm able to implement some of it, and there may be easier reads on the topic. But if you want to get into the technical details of real urban agriculture, it's probably a good one to have.
