This was the third year in which the Vienna Business Agency and VIENNA DESIGN WEEK jointly addressed the groundbreaking subject of URBAN FOOD & DESIGN: In a tour staged as a double act, Alice Jacubasch (Vienna Business Agency) and Julia Schanderl (VIENNA DESIGN WEEK), who were responsible for the program item, personally explained the five projects that were exhibited at the Festival Headquarters. Visitors learned from the two experts at firsthand about how the URBAN FOOD & DESIGN projects had been selected by an expert jury during the course of a joint challenge. In addition to this, they were able to experience all aspects of “The New Local”, because the projects exhibited in the Amtshaus Theresienbadgasse demonstrated how the production, distribution, and consumption of food could be shaped during and after the COVID-19 crisis. Alice and Julia guided visitors from project to project while those designers who were present spoke about such issues as the sharing and circular economies and social participation.
