Hungry Cities: How Food Shapes our Lives

Acclaimed author, Carolyn Steel joins ON CITIES for a thought-provoking conversation on the relationship between food and cities. The feeding of cities has greater social and physical impact on us and our planet than anything else we do. Yet few of us living in modern cities are conscious of the process. In her books, Hungry City and Sitopia, Steel discusses the history of food production and distribution, the challenges of feeding our growing cities sustainably, and her vision of Sitopia, a new way of thinking about food and its role in creating more resilient, equitable and joyful urban futures. With practical ideas and fascinating insights, this episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned with health, the future of food and its impact on cities and society.
