Farm The City: Rethinking Urban Resilience and Liveability
Our cities are facing an unprecedented resilience crisis with our heavy dependency on a global industrialised food system based on an unsustainable linear production to disposal model. 70% of the world’s population (6 billion) will live in cities by 2045, so addressing urban resilience and city liveability challenges becomes a time pressing agenda.
The global pandemic has exposed our vulnerabilities with the breakdown of global and national food supply chains, sending a strong and urgent message that cities need to rethink, re-strategise and redesign the way forward.

This Year's Recap
Farm the City 2022 has successfully concluded!
Thank you for supporting yet another successful Farm the City event which was held on 5-6 October 2022 at ReThink HK.
With the theme "Rethinking Urban Resilience and Liveability," this year's programme was able to include people from all walks of life involved in the discussion, practise, and walking the walk, we know we are on our way to achieving a better and more liveable city environment with urban resilience and sustainability.
Furthermore, the Urban Land Institute's Interactive City Food Lab, which was co-hosted with UrbanPlan HK, was a huge success! We were ecstatic to see such a strong interest in redesigning our future city and developing a model of the future food system as part of the planning process.
Stay tuned for our event report and upcoming news about Farm the City!
