The project reimagines urban food production as a working landscape where labour conditions, environmental exposure, and spatial design converge to prioritise recovery within high-intensity urban economies. As platform-based delivery services expand, food production becomes fragmented while the workers sustaining it remain unsupported. Delivery riders lack spaces for rest and welfare, while students, shift workers, and emerging food entrepreneurs face barriers to affordable kitchens and market access.

The proposal develops a network of collective kitchens and welfare hubs transforming residual urban spaces into shared civic infrastructure. Through modular timber interventions and a larger food hub in Woolwich, food preparation, distribution, retail, dining, and rider welfare are integrated within a cooperative ecosystem. Linked through the FEEDr network, it proposes an alternative to extractive platforms such as Uber Eats and Deliveroo, redirecting value back to those sustaining urban food systems. Shared access supports local economies and financial autonomy. Designed as a demountable, low-carbon system, it reframes urban gaps as spaces of production, care, and agency.
