Plaki

Can strengthening local networks balance urban flows of resources and ideas? Covid-19 has caused massive readjustments of society, changing the ways we interact on a global scale. 'Plaki' explored the opportunities that this presents for building resilient forms of urban metabolism in our cities. Taking into account growing issues of waste management (expedited by the pandemic) and the need for new forms of community interaction (focussing on hyperlocal scale) we sought to imagine ways of adapting to this new paradigm that create economic opportunities as well as a positive environmental impact.
