Food is becoming one of the most powerful and underestimated forces shaping our cities.

In this episode of The Connector, Harper B Founder Belinda Coates is joined by Dr Dolly Daou, global thought leader in food innovation, to explore the rise of food design and its role in building more inclusive, vibrant and future-ready urban environments.

From neighbourhood food hubs to the reimagining of underutilised spaces, this conversation reveals how food is no longer just about consumption, it’s a strategic tool for placemaking, community building and economic activation.
