This paper describes the principal activities of food supply and distribution systems and suggests planning criteria for managing the physical and spatial dimensions of the city in order to improve the quantity, quality, variety and safety of food, and to help low-income urban populations to access it. The aim of this guide is not to provide prescriptive rules, but rather general guidelines that planners can adapt to the local situation and translate into concrete action.
