Samenvatting

Food and the City makes the relationships between food and the city visible by exploring both the ways in which buying and eating food have become such a significant part of urban public life, and the ways in which design supports and enhances the place of food in the city.

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, cafés 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?

Food and the City makes the relationships between food and the city visible by exploring both the ways in which buying and eating food have become such a significant part of urban public life, and the ways in which design supports and enhances the place of food in the city. It is timely because the proliferation of urban cafes, restaurants, and markets continues, but is not sufficiently recognized or analyzed. Food related topics are now of great interest in academic and design disciplines but the theme of this issue, food as it relates to the variety and vitality of urban life, has not been addressed. Food and the City, will develop ideas from the popular Food and Architecture (2002).
