Sustainable urbanisation is coupled with the sustainability and resilience of 'glocal' food production andconsumption. Economic transformation and climate change have brought complex and dynamic challengesfor urban food systems, while new urban economies and social innovations are emerging in variouscountries to tackle food problems. However, identifying and assessing transition pathways of future urbanfood systems remain primarily neglected in studies on urban sustainability. Local planners and policy-makersseek scientific guidance and learning opportunities about mechanisms to navigate towards sustainable urbanfood systems. This project will develop interdisciplinary methods, innovative understandings, and practicalmanagerial insights bridging socio-spatial contexts in China and Europe. It will shed light on trends of urbanfood production and consumption in Chinese and European cities, and identify the natural and societalfactors that will influence the vulnerability and resilience of urban food supply chains. This project will revealhow new business models, social entrepreneurship, and other innovations in the urban food sector areevolving locally. Our research outcomes will enhance the governance capacity in transitioning urban foodsystems, and establish learning arenas that illuminate similarities and differences of urban planning anddecision-making on urban food system governance in China and Europe.The UK team will specifically be responsible or closely involved in two work packages (WP2 and WP4). WP 2 will look into the changing patterns of global supply chains of specific categories of food products in each case city. The project team will work with the leading global food brands and local suppliers/vendors to extract food supply chain data at the city level. Based on the business-level data sets, the team will apply GIS-based data monitoring or processing to track the food flows among place of interests (POIs) in city regions. This will establish a solid foundation to estimate the potential impact or even disruptions on those supply chains due to natural climate change and socioeconomic transformation, globally and locally. To be more specific, collected data will be overlapped with Remote Sensing data sets wherever appropriate to track urban food flows (e.g., processing, packaging, grocery, household, waste) geographically.WP4 will empirically examine how the case study cities (intend to, or not yet recognise to) govern the transformation towards a sustainable urban food system. It will initiate a critical science-policy discussion on whether the cities currently have the necessary capacities, or whether new governance arrangements might be required to address the sustainability challenges and transformation demands of the urban food system as identified in WPs 1-3. We will explore the histories, presents, and outcomes of urban food governance and policy implementations, in particular, to analyze the governance of urban food systems in the four case cities. This will provide a trans-local understanding of the mechanisms through which urban food policies are mobilised and altered in various places and how these processes shape food systems in cities. we will then analyse how actors in the case cities translate urban food policies into concrete practices to initiate changes in the urban food system, and how food sustainability, resilience or innovations are prioritised politically (or not). Based on multi-level governance theories and content analysis of institutional documents on governance strategies, the vital urban actors in the public sector and their strategies (e.g. leapfrogging, experimental governance) and concrete practices of implementation will be studied.

可持续的城市化与“全球本地”粮食生产和消费的可持续性和弹性相结合。经济转型和气候变化给城市粮食系统带来了复杂和动态的挑战，而新的城市经济和社会创新正在各国出现，以解决粮食问题。然而，在城市可持续性研究中，确定和评估未来城市粮食系统的过渡途径仍然主要被忽视。地方规划者和政策制定者寻求科学指导和学习机制的机会，以实现可持续的城市粮食系统。该项目将开发跨学科的方法，创新的理解，以及连接中国和欧洲社会空间背景的实用管理见解。它将揭示中国和欧洲城市食品生产和消费的趋势，并确定将影响城市食品供应链脆弱性和弹性的自然和社会因素。该项目将揭示新的商业模式，社会企业家精神和城市食品行业的其他创新是如何在当地发展的。我们的研究成果将提高中国城市食物系统转型的治理能力，并建立学习平台，阐明中国和欧洲城市食物系统治理规划和决策的异同。英国团队将具体负责或密切参与两个工作包（WP 2和WP 4）。WP 2将研究每个城市特定类别食品的全球供应链的变化模式。项目团队将与全球领先的食品品牌和当地供应商/供应商合作，提取城市层面的食品供应链数据。基于商业级数据集，该团队将应用基于GIS的数据监测或处理来跟踪城市区域中感兴趣的地方（POI）之间的食物流。这将为估计全球和地方自然气候变化和社会经济转型对这些供应链的潜在影响甚至中断奠定坚实的基础。更具体地说，收集的数据将与遥感数据集重叠，以跟踪城市粮食流动（例如，WP 4将实证研究案例研究城市（打算或尚未认识到）如何管理向可持续城市食品系统的转型。它将发起一场关键的科学政策讨论，讨论城市目前是否具备必要的能力，或者是否需要新的治理安排来应对工作计划1-3中确定的城市粮食系统的可持续性挑战和转型需求。我们将探讨城市食品治理和政策实施的历史、现状和结果，特别是分析四个案例城市的城市食品系统治理。这将提供一个跨地区的理解，通过这些机制，城市粮食政策在不同的地方被动员和改变，以及这些过程如何塑造城市的粮食系统。然后，我们将分析案例中的参与者如何将城市粮食政策转化为具体实践，以启动城市粮食系统的变革，以及粮食可持续性，复原力或创新如何在政治上优先考虑（或不优先考虑）。根据多层次治理理论和关于治理战略的机构文件的内容分析，将研究公共部门中的重要城市行为者及其战略（例如，蛙跳式、实验性治理）和具体实施做法。
