Around the world from, from Brisbane to Manchester, from Bangkok to
New York, food and food-related activities are enriching and
invigorating city life. In many urban neighbourhoods there is an
explosion in the number of restaurants, bars, cafes and takeaways.
Traditional food markets are being rediscovered while new markets
are being renovated, built anew or set up afresh on market day.
Even as urban agricultural is threatened by urban redevelopment our
appreciation of it is undergoing a renaissance, as it reappears in
the guise of community gardens and city farms. "Food + the City"
explores the contemporary city as dining room, market and farm,
considering how food display, consumption and production bring
vitality and diversity to public life and sensory pleasure to urban
experience while helping to create local character and
opportunities for a more sustainable way of life. The burgeoning
gastronomic culture of cities, from growing to consuming, raises
important questions of who is included and who is excluded: What
should be the role of architecture and urban design? Exactly how
should food be promoted as a tool for progressive social change?
