Feeding the Future City: Designing Edible Urban Landscapes
Feeding the Future City: Designing Edible Urban Landscapes
Talk/discussion: 11 March 2009
How will we feed our cities beyond the age of cheap oil? Could we adapt urban infrastructures to ‘grow our own’?
Find out how designers and communities are leading a new ‘green revolution’, and join in the audience discussion at this free event.
Speakers: Bohn & Viljoen Architects are the Brighton-based practice behind the groundbreaking book Continuous Productive Urban Landscapes: Designing Urban Architecture for Sustainable Cities. Richard Spalding, Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at UWE, is campaigning to regenerate the foodscapes of the north Bristol fringe, an area he has dubbed the ‘Blue Finger’. Members of the local urban growing community will also talk about their experiences of growing food in urban contexts.
Feeding the Future City is part of Spring Green 2009, The Architecture Centre’s annual programme of exhibitions and events that celebrate and showcase sustainable innovation in the built environment.
