Impressive data show that cities all over the world are devouring 75% of Earth’s resources. At the current rate, the urban population is predicted to be double by 2050, meaning the 70% of the total global population, thus raising serious questions about how cities could feed themselves in the future. This thesis was moved by the urgency of addressing this topic and the reasoning about how food could foster the revitalization of the disused or abandoned areas. Two main themes were discussed to tackle these issues. The first one is strictly related to food. Since ancient city-states, food and animal routes have historically shaped the urban morphology.
