Urban Food Mapping 1st Edition

Grab attention with a practical, city-focused guide to designing resilient food systems. Urban Food Mapping, 1st Edition by Katrin Bohn and Mikey Tomkins reframes how planners, designers, community organisers and policymakers see food in the urban landscape.

This accessible, well-crafted volume blends theory and practice to explore spatial patterns of food production, distribution and consumption in cities. Through clear explanations of mapping methods, typologies and visualisation techniques, the book shows how to reveal food opportunities and constraints across neighbourhoods, rooftops, public spaces and brownfield sites. Whether you work in urban planning, architecture, public health or grassroots food justice, the insights help translate complex data into actionable strategies.

Imagine producing maps that clarify food access, identify potential urban agriculture sites, or guide local food policy — that’s the practical payoff. Case-driven guidance and transferable tools make it easy to apply ideas across contexts, from dense European capitals to fast-growing cities in Africa, Asia and the Americas. The tone is professional yet readable, balancing rigorous analysis with on-the-ground relevance for London, Berlin, New York, Lagos, Singapore and other urban centres.

If you’re seeking a resource that strengthens proposals, informs community consultations, or enriches academic study, this book delivers. It’s a go-to reference for anyone committed to sustainable, equitable city food systems.
