Beyond Industry: A Systems- Based Approach to Collective Form

Globalization and capitalism are resulting in the emergence of more and more urbanized landscapes. As the world becomes increasingly globalized, ports become ideal places for investment and development. Because of its strategic coastal location, Prince Rupert—a small town of 13,000 residents in Northern British Columbia, Canada—has one of the fastest growing port terminals in North America and is the epicenter for the exploitation of natural resources in Canada. As Prince Rupert evolves, peak oil is reached, and non-renewable resources decline, we can imagine a transition toward a renewable resource economy, an increase in renewable resource industries, and an influx of diverse groups of people.
