FOOD and the CITY was initiated as a research platform with the intention to suggest a new vision for the future urban development of Hannover as a Rural Metropolis. On an inter-regional scale, the Rural Metropolis of Hannover should be able to provide food not only for the Lower Saxony Region, but also for Berlin, Hamburg and the Rhein/Ruhr regions. Today, Lower Saxony is one of Germany’s most intensive agricultural state home to a high–performing and innovative food industry (20 billion € with more than 100,000 employees) whose products are demanded all over the world. At the same time, the widespread demand for healthy food as part of a healthy lifestyle is growing; not only regarding bio-products but also for low cost self-sufficiency. According to these factors the role of agriculture and food supply has to be reevaluated within the development of Hannover Region.

Abstract
FOOD and the CITY was initiated as a research platform with the intention to suggest a new vision for the future urban development of Hannover as a Rural Metropolis. On an inter-regional scale, the Rural Metropolis of Hannover should be able to provide food not only for the Lower Saxony Region, but also for Berlin, Hamburg and the Rhein/Ruhr regions. Today, Lower Saxony is one of Germany’s most intensive agricultural state home to a high–performing and innovative food industry (20 billion € with more than 100,000 employees) whose products are demanded all over the world. At the same time, the widespread demand for healthy food as part of a healthy lifestyle is growing; not only regarding bio-products but also for low cost self-sufficiency. According to these factors the role of agriculture and food supply has to be reevaluated within the development of Hannover Region.
