| Abstract | The current living conditions of those in urban areas, particularly their food systems, jeopardize human health and wellbeing and societal cohesion. To achieve a successful transition toward sustainable communities, people must redesign how they manufacture, distribute, and utilize food. In terms of administration and innovation, this chapter builds conceptual connections between studies on urban food chains and smart city designs. The idea of a “modern city” is related to an urban research focus that aims to integrate technological and data-selection advancements into urban infrastructure. Market-driven and technical solutions for municipal governments and growth are emphasized within this neoliberal paradigm. The urban food transition, which includes a variety of urban food-manufacturing methods, grassroots social advances, and, more recently, debates on food security, has taken a different path than that of modern cities. Recognizing these epistemological and ideological distinctions (between modern cities and urban food movements) is critical for reconceptualizing modern cities’ food administration. This chapter argues that innovative technologies might be critical components of an approach to solving food problems in modern cities but only when combined with social advances that enable flexible methods of administration that are technologically and socially oriented and connected to the specific conditions in cities and regions. City identity, new organizational structures, connectivity, a circular urban metabolism, and social behaviors are all important components. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025. |
