Rethinking Food Urbanism: Creating a More Nourishing, Equitable and Resilient Future

Description: 

Join us for a lively discussion on how urban food systems can change for the better, and how architecture and urban design respond to the challenge. Our food systems are facing challenges from post-pandemic supply chain issues, a changing climate and rising conflicts. This panel explores how architecture and urban design can redesign our foodscapes to prioritize nutritious food. Hosted by Regional and Urban Design Committee (RUDC).

  • Describe how our food systems work, and the challenges facing our food systems today.
