RED

ECIPROCITY [the practice of exchanging things with others for mutual benefit]

ENVIRONMENTAL NEED BUSINESS NEED SOCIAL NEED

“For every action, there will be an equal and opposite reaction”

“...cooperative rather than competitive...”

Lack of physical interactions in space

Unproductive vs Productive Ursus(north-west vs south)

Mutual exchange and physical interactions (work centres)

Mutual exchange and barter - nonmonetary forms of exchange

Non-capital market within a capitalist environment

Move towards a polyopoly market as opposed to current oligopoly

Mutual growth and expansion

Global need for sustainable technologies

Industrial ecology need for industrial symbiosis

Poland’s energy situation a need for change ?

European policy pressure on Poland

RE

DEMOCRATIC POLAND? SOCIAL EQUALITY CLAIMING TERRITORY

[...all people have broadly equal access to the means to participate meaningfully in decisions about things which affect their lives]

Capitalist society - those with wealth have power

Ursus site - existing industries have little say about the future of the site

Equal weight between individuals and companies on site

Sense of belonging

Money is equal to knowledge, equal power

Physical participation in matters on site

CELTIC OWNERSHIP

NO INFORMAL PRESENCE ONE FORMAL ACTIVITY OCCUPIES SITE ONE FORMAL ACTIVITY PRESENCE OPENS INFORMAL ACTIVITY OPPORTUNITY

MORE FORMAL ACTIVITY PRESENCE FEEDS MORE INFORMAL ACTIVITY OPPORTUNITY

FULL RED OCCUPATION THE FORMAL ACTIVITY PERMEATES BEYOND URSUS DISTRICT

If the tidal spread of Celtic ownership can be stemmed, and a strong enough bond ,reinforced by Industrial symbiosis, can be utilised to start working at claiming land back off the developer, and put it too productive use.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR ON-SITE SYNERGIES

ON-SITE SYNERGY FLY ASH REUSEUse of fly ash from power plantUse in Water TreatmentUse within building products (concrete, asphalt, etc)

ON-SITE SYNERGY REUSE OF ALUMINIUM WASTEWaste aluminium from industries (el-box, etc) may circulate aluminium waste back to Asmet

ON-SITE SYNERGY PAPER RECYCLINGWaste paper from offices and packaging materials could be recycled into paper reused by Raphael Printers

ON-SITE SYNERGY REUSE OF WASTE PAINTUse of “clean” waste paint for graffiti / street art
