0.1 Stage One

What are the critical elements we need to think about in the approach to a new town close to Alberta's oil sands mining developments?

The submissions here take a number of strategic forms, from imaginative narratives that define what might be considered a client group, to a series of videos that graphically pinpoint  what seem to be universal small town impossibilities.  Some entries are impassioned manifestos, other impassioned research projects.  Almost all, at some point, question whether one can build at all. 

Read through the submissions and if you find anyone with whom you want to collaborate, do (we will forward contact information), otherwise continue to stage 2 which is actually the proposal of a new town, in some form.  If you registered for stage 1, just go ahead. 

If you are new to the project, there is a registration form here.

Any questions, contact us.
