Etsaw: Una Citta di Rifiuti Part 1 Project 2022 Drew MacDonell Anglia Ruskin University | UK Global production of waste is creating an unsustainable future for our planet. One that depletes our finite natural resources and negatively impacts the climate. Current trends show that by 2050 continued waste streams will leave the ocean containing more plastic than fish. With no consideration to the global community, large corporations and manufacturers are taking slow steps to correct the problem of waste. This attitude has left international communities to witness environmental deterioration on an alarming scale. Global activity contributing a net 2.01 billion tonnes of waste annually, an ever-increasing statistic.The Etsaw project outlines the building blocks of a regenerative cooperative, aimed at providing an alternative and sustainable approach to developing urban areas. To override the current urban development plan for the Royal Docks, providing an enhanced water-based and adaptable settlement for industry to thrive. Using the history of the area as a catalyst for future opportunities. To create a post-pandemic settlement in the heart of London. Providing necessary domestic improvements to the local Newham community, including a new spectrum of jobs and affordable homes. Extending the already present waste management infrastructure to create self-sustaining communal hubs and districts. To encourage the return of complex biodiversity into London. Tutor(s)
