CAROLYN SHOWS HOW WE CAN BUILD A BETTER WORLD THROUGH FOOD.
Carolyn is a leading thinker on food and cities. In her second book Sitopia: How Food Can Save the World, she envisions a scenario in which the daily miracle of feeding a city affects landscape, politics, and culture even in our modern cities. Following her award-winning book Hungry City: How Food Shapes Our Lives, Carolyn’s concept of sitopia (food-place) has gained recognition across academia, industry, and the arts.
A director of Kilburn Nightingale Architects in London, Carolyn studied at Cambridge University and has since been a visiting lecturer at Cambridge, London Metropolitan and Wageningen Universities, and at the London School of Economics, where she was the inaugural Studio Director of the Cities Programme. Her 2009 TED talk has received more than one million views.
