Jobs, Justice, and Decarbonization: Designing a Green New Deal in Appalachia, the Midwest, and the Mississippi Delta

The Green New Deal Superstudio builds upon the guidelines of the Green New Deal and the efforts of previous students whose work focused on identifying critical regions in the U.S. which must be “won” to achieve the stated aims of the GND’s jobs, justice, and decarbonization agenda. This studio has zoomed in on each of the regions— Appalachia, the Midwest, and the Mississippi Delta—in order to produce a digital “atlas” documenting the regions and a set of “futures” which speculate upon what the material reality of an implemented Green New Deal may look like.

The studio’s final format was a website, where you can find more work.
