Food has always been a central element shaping cities. Nowadays, food imports and exports have
shown their fragility in times of global pandemic and climate change. A food desert is very common
in London neighborhoods. We utilize food as a catalyst to connect people, cultures, and societies.
With the support of urban agriculture, we hope to create a food‐centric neighborhood. Urban
agriculture brings people closer to agriculture and the environment, which enhances their mental
health. We propose to design an open‐air supermarket where people can grow their food in vertical
farming, on‐ground farming in parks and plaza spaces, and roof farming with a working food network
system.
