Magical Foodscape will prioritize food and catering as a factor in urban planning for effective food distribution, thereby increasing the risk resilience of the food supply and catering sector in the face of disasters.

The project is sponsored by Shanghai Maixi Consulting & Planning Co. and the Landscape Architecture Department of School of Design at Shanghai Jiao tong University. The project was led by Xiwei Shen and collaborated by 15 students during a summer workshop in 2020. A comprehensive media matrix was built to share our planning recommendations through online and field research on culture, traditional dining and environment in four typical Chinese cities. The public was guided to participate in the campaign from various platforms and feedback was collected to continuously optimize the planning strategy.
