Food-sensitive planning and urban design

The Heart Foundation Victorian division has recently released Food-sensitive planning and urban design – a conceptual framework for achieving a sustainable and healthy food system.

Food-sensitive planning and urban design (FSPUD) recognises that access to healthy, sustainable and equitable food is an essential part of achieving liveable communities.

It is an approach to planning and urban design that addresses the critical intersect between public health, planning and urban design, and environmental sustainability. It presents the case for prioritising food in the planning and design of our cities.

FSPUD provides tools, suggestion and case studies to enable the practical reconciliation of food considerations with planning and urban design objectives. The document can be found here – These resources are for planners, architects, urban designers, engineers, policymakers, community members and elected representatives involved in urban land use and development. It provides tools, suggestions and case studies to help reconcile food considerations with planning and urban design objectives.
