The planned “city region†in the New Urban Agenda: An appropriate framing for urban food security?

Jane Battersby and Vanessa Watson

Chapter 17 in Handbook on Urban Food Security in the Global South, 2020, pp 341-362 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The New Urban Agenda (NUA) sets out a new role for towns and cities across the world, and acknowledges nutritious and adequate food (i.e. urban food security) as an important component of sustainable urban development. In the NUA and related planning guidelines, the concept of the city region informs both food-system planning, and urban and territorial planning. However, the use of the city-region model, with antecedents in regional economic planning and food policy, disregards critiques of the concept and ignores current economic, social, and institutional realities, as well as the significant diversity of urban centres and regions across the globe.
