Abstract

The term ‘foodification’ became recently the synthesis of some transformation processes already in place in contemporary cities. Those processes, which are related to the connection between food consumption and other causes, are, for example, touristification, urban renewal, gentrification, or more general effects of substitution and displacement within urban fabric.
This paper focuses on the demand of food ‘from below’, starting from pandemic effects on “foodified” urban contexts. The research about the case of “Cucine popolari” in Bologna wishes to include some socially productive practices related to the need for food in the wider discussion about the relationship between food and urban transformations, and to integrate the meaning and scope of the term ‘foodification’.
