Abstract

Urban planners typically pay little attention to food systems, emphasising ‘traditional’ urban priorities such as public transportation and decent housing. This book aims to provide a guide for food system planning that pulls together urban planning and food system expertise, bridging these two fields. It is the result of an extensive search to identify the best examples from across the world. Research continues to show the important role played by small and informal food outlets in cities, where they are able to provide food nearer to poorer urban residents at competitive prices.
