Local food production can make a city more resilient and create space for social interaction between all kinds of backgrounds and cultures, leading to a stronger sense of community. We aim to showcase a variety of proposals on how to bring agriculture and the city closer together.

UPROOTING URBANISM

Local food production can make a city more resilient and independent. It will create space for social interaction between all kinds of backgrounds and cultures, leading to a stronger sense of community.

We aim to showcase a variety of proposals on how to bring agriculture and the city closer together with a focus on alternative agricultural approaches that are space-efficient, ecologically valuable, and sustainable. Including the role of animals within a circular food system. Everyone is encouraged to participate and to contribute to creating a vision of a self-sustaining environment.

The map is visualizing the recently acquired Wielewaal area, 142 ha, in Eindhoven. A great opportunity for Eindhoven to rethink it’s green space that could fulfill a variety of different purposes. One doesn’t have to exclude the other. Together we can build a layered story and propose to Eindhoven.

A project by Bram de Vos, the continuation of Uprooting Agro-Sytstems. In collaboration with Jonas Görgen.

About Bram de Vos

The common thread in my work is to provide answers to the "pain" that cities face. This is a mix of complex questions about climate, growing population, equality etc. Municipalities and governments have many questions about this. Only the answers are still missing.

I am the bridge between the worlds of new abstract ideas and where "the questions lie". I design the overarching plan, where many disciplines work together on new possibilities.
