AU Design Strategies

Food Precinct - Community Events

Another key element of a successful precinct is that of programming community events throughout the year into the precinct that connect the community to the vitality of the activities and people in the precinct. For a food precinct this may include seasonal food festivals, farmers markets, harvest events, or others. A wide range of stakeholders can be integrated into this programming. This dimension also suggests that facilities to support conference or learning like experiences be included, along with plazas designed to support farmers markets and other events.
