Even though, Thai foods are prepared daily in the most of every Thai households, yet, trading food has been a common economic activity since the old days. The development of street food became more functioning and part of daily consumption way of urban living, especially in the city where people spend most of the time outside their houses. Its contributions to urban life go beyond their own informal employment, as it generates demand and supply for a wide range of services provided by other informal and formal workers. This article purposes to examine the relationship between urban dining culture and food varieties in spatial planning aspect with Bangkok as an area of study. Street food business in fifty districts was investigated and analyzed into three parts: street food vendor, street food character, and street food location. The initial result shows that urban dining culture relates to street food distribution, but contrasts with the government policy, which concentrates on abolition. This will lead into policy suggestion for the importance of street food in the city.

Different cookware in use ©Johanna Dehio DESIGNING FOOD CYCLES: THREE PATHWAYS TOWARD URBAN RESILIENCE Sabrina Sposito This contribution refers to the creative actions led by the Leibniz University Han- nover (LUH) in the framework of the Creative Food Cycles project. It gives an overview of current speculations and testing in designing food cycles, based on the notions of urban metabolism and resilient food systems. A selection of best practices contained in the Food Interaction Catalogue is presented to enlighten spatial qualities, societal benefits, and actors’ constellations being boosted cre- atively in the market, kitchen, and table setups. The nine prototypes conceived during the workshop ‘Food Cycles Pop-Up” are illustrated, as explorations and po- tential inventions for “urban food hotspots”. Finally, three pathways towards urban resilience are briefly traced towards a regional and local development based on food cycles. food cycles / food flow / practices / prototypes / pathways CREATIVE FOOD CYCLES 59 Figure 2.

It was back in the sixties that the importance of material flows within the urban ecosystem emerged (Kennedy et al.
