Recenzje

'A fascinating and timely account of the numerous ways in which urban food shapes our lives and how a spatial understanding of food can help us understand our impact on the world and our interconnectedness. With a cross-disciplinary approach and examples from across the world bringing a rich range of perspectives, this is a must-read for anyone studying urban food systems, culture and ecology.'

Carolyn Steel, architect, urbanist, author of Hungry City: How Food Shapes Our Lives (2008) and Sitopia: How Food Can Save the World (2020), Great Britain

 

'Mapping cities is centuries old, but mapping food in and for cities is recent but fast growing and diversifying. This book offers a vital survey of the act and art of urban food mapping as a practice that is increasingly used as a participatory mechanism for bringing visibility to the place of food systems within urban systems. This rich and overdue addition to the literature on cities and food, in effect, maps urban food mapping.'

Dr. Joe Nasr, architect and urbanist, urban agriculture pioneer, lecturer at Toronto Metropolitan University, Canada

 

'Food is central to our urban lives and shapes our cities and yet it often remains unseen in planning, in policy and indeed in the maps made of our cities. Urban Food Mapping creatively maps the many roles food plays in cities around the world and invites us to see urban spaces through new lenses. This book is a methodologically innovative and thought provoking addition to urban and food studies.'

Dr. Jane Battersby, urban and human geographer, senior lecturer at the Department of Environmental and Geographical Science, University of Cape Town, South Africa

 

'No matter from which perspective you look: if you are interested to move towards a productive urban food future, this book is a must-have! In a refreshing way, essays outline the breadth of questions and approaches to action, focusing on the role of different mapping methods as knowledge generators and communication tools. By carefully and astutely framing the approaches, the book discloses the revelatory power of mapping methods and outlines the need for urban food mapping as an urban practice and a future interdisciplinary field of research.'
