Date of Symposium: May 2-4, 2008

Location: Design Exchange, 234 Bay St., Toronto, Ontario, Canada

This symposium investigates the opportunities for creative cooperation between shapers of the built environment and actors in urban food and agriculture systems. It brings together, for the first time, individuals from the full range of professions of the built environment who have been recently tackling challenges of the urban food system. The interface between the physical aspects of urban food provision and distribution, urban design and architecture are explored. After an introductory survey as part of a public session, this meeting addresses a number of issues, grouped into five themes; it is complemented by an exhibition and two field visits, by bus and walking.
