The Role of Food and Agriculture in the Design and Planning of Buildings and Cities May 1, 2008

This symposium will investigate the opportunities for creative cooperation between shapers of the built envi-ronment and actors in urban food and agriculture systems. It brings together, for the first time, individuals from the full range of professions of the built environment who have been recently tackling challenges of the urban food system. The interface between the physical aspects of urban food provision and distribution, ur-ban design and architecture will be explored. After an introductory survey as part of a public session, this meeting will address a number of issues, grouped into five themes; it will be complemented by an exhibition and two field visits, by bus and walking.
