Holistic Urban Regeneration

 

There is enough wasted food, materials and space to make a huge difference to the places we live. ReSpace has developed a resource generating infrastructure. The system uses space as a platform to provide opportunity to those that need it most.

 

 

 

ReSpace turns empty buildings into hubs, connected through a network of projects, for the collection, storage and re-use of wasted resources. These projects operate using sustainable models, like the Hive – trading space or materials to cover their costs and deliver useful facilities to the local communities, charities and small businesses.

The incredible potential of this Holistic system is demonstrated by the results of the Hive Dalston which started with nothing and gave away hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of space, materials, resources or services.

The Hive has fostered a number of similar projects which form the basis of this network.
