Urban Relief Organization: Community-Led Cooperative Part 1 Project 2023 Hissah Mohammed Almousa Oxford Brookes University Oxford | UK The project critically questions the direct correlation between resource usage in the food production industry, public health, and the city’s biodiversity to propose a new supply chain that is based on circular collaborative regeneration. The urban relief organization will foster this collaborative approach as it will be led by community members, local businesses, and Blackpool council to reveal the powerful potential of the collective.The organization’s circular approach is designed to radically reduce resource usage such as land, water, and fertilizers, as it will be contained in a circular flow. This internally entails leveraging new technologies of producing plant-based protein, which is called precision fermentation, and externally enabling a regenerative farming system that partners with households and local businesses. This collaborative system will create community wealth and abundant, nutritious food that will be exchanged in the building and will spark an ecological revolution that will improve the city’s biodiversity so natural systems can thrive and flourish.The circular approach applies to retrofitting the existing Foxhall building. The two retrofitting themes are based on: re-purposing demolition waste of the new housing project in Blackpool; enabling social enterprise and community-making that will produce natural construction materials on site.
