Urban food culture refers to the diverse ways cities shape and reflect what people eat, influenced by local traditions, new culinary trends, and immigrant communities. It involves the availability of various cuisines, street foods, restaurants, markets, and food-related events that create a vibrant, dynamic eating environment. This culture promotes social interaction around food, supports local food businesses, and often drives innovative culinary practices. Urban food culture is a reflection of a city’s diversity, history, and economic activity, fostering community identity and shaping residents’ food experiences.
