Eat, Ask, Repeat: An Investigation into Food and the City. The city and food are more closely related than you might think. Our bodies act as the mediators in this relationship.

This publication offers a critical look at the dynamics of production, consumption, and the right to the city. What drives us to overeat? Or to eat too little?
