The research investigates the reinstatement of food at the core of national and local governance through an ambitious piece of polemic titled the Food Parliament – how it can be a driver to restructure employment, education, transport, health, culture, communities, and the justice system, re-evaluating how the city functions as a spatial and political entity. With 120 speculative drawings, the book raises serious questions about the priorities of our governing bodies by applying urban relationships to reframe the spaces of food consumption and production, analyzed through the lenses of historical precedent, function and form.
