Food Delivery UP011

Food delivery is changing the concept of what a restaurant is and where it makes sense to situate it in a city. And it is changing the rhythm and flow of people moving around the city. Yet there’s a flip side to the cost and convenience of food delivery: the sustainability challenges presented by the required transport infrastructure; the stress of working in the industry; the amount of unnecessary packaging and waste produced; and the diminished importance and relevance of cooking and eating at home.

So, if food delivery explodes around the globe, values besides cost and convenience will have to come to the fore and help us design food-delivery systems that are more environmentally and culturally sustainable.
