Productive Parkscape: Regent’s Park Food Bank Food resource waste and food poverty are considerable social and environmental issues in London. Referring to the food supply framework, this project outlines a strategy for integrating food production and waste disposal with surplus food redistribution. It uses Regent’s Park as a site to conduct a large-scale research exercise and then produces an experimental food community scheme in the northeast corner of the park.
To cope with hunger and housing deprivation during the post-pandemic period, the food hub employs homeless people around this place as labourers while providing sufficient food and proper shelter. The community, which consists of housing and food-related spaces such as food banks and composting campuses, integrates food production, collection, provision, distribution, and waste disposal. In addition, the terrace gardens, roof orchards and growing land form a productive landscape in the sustainable food community, which creates a harvest festival and a fantastic party for food celebrations.
