Making Space for food In Hatfield

1/4/2018

 
Our Chair Vanessa attended the first seminar of the University of Hertfordshire Sustainable Communities seminar in the 2018 series.  It was the launch of ‘Making Space For Food In Hatfield’ a presentation and discussion with report by co-author Dr Susan Parham. The illustrated talk explored the idea that how we design and plan our towns might be making us fat (creating so-called ‘obesegenic' environments). It looked at how ‘retrofitting’ more food-centred space could respond to that challenge.
The focus is on the New Town of Hatfield where the research was undertaken and shows a series of possible design scenarios along the food chain. These range from urban agriculture opportunities to revived allotments; from edible ‘food ways’ to a productive business park and more.
As our Civic Centre Opportunity Site design charrette in no small measure looked to create a landscape-led healthy city centre environment, perhaps using roof gardens and community gardens amongst other landscape measures, Team Look! thought this an excellent opportunity to gain ideas from Dr Parham’s work in Hartfield.  We were not disappointed here is a link to her report  https://www.herts.ac.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0006/154185/Food-in-Hatfield-low-res.pdf
