Silvio Caputo is a UK-based architect and academic investigating urban resilience, urban green infrastructure and sustainable food planning. He is interested in the dynamics through which urban food growing modifies the urban landscape and the functionality of urban spaces, influences patterns of land use, utilises urban waste as an input and technology, and catalyses social innovation. He has published articles in high-impact journals, and co-edited and co-authored books.
