Food and the City

Judging by its title, the annual Dumbarton Oaks symposium dealt with an old but tasty subject: Food and the City addresses a topic of interest for garden and landscape researchers specializing in all eras from antiquity to the present and can be discussed in rather ‘theoretical’ socio-historical as well as rather ‘practical’ architecture and design approaches. Indeed, urban agriculture has been a flourishing subject, with much recent debate and writing focusing especially on modern times. Given the many facets of the ‘intricate interrelationship between urban context and food production’ [1], the conference, organized by Dorothée Imbert, did well to share this focus and allow further thoughts on its applicability to the solution of contemporary problems. Keeping up a good tradition, Dumbarton Oaks invited inspiring lecturers from the diverse interdisciplinary field of garden and landscape studies.
