Dystopia - Year 2030 - Location Petticoat Lane

People out of work, money exchanges are becoming less frequent people are beginning to scavenge spitalfields for exchangeable goods, recycling the mess left by the migration of people hoping to the refugee camps, a strong community which over history has withstood many issues begin to develop and become self sustainable, the remaining community use theirs skills and space to grow, keep, mend, feed and sleep.

Some see a dysotpian spitalfields as a place to leave others see this as a opportunity to grow, the abandoned houses and spaces become full with recycled goods, places to grow food, keep animals, mend clothes and life with their families the community no longer use money for exchange of goods but products and crafts.

 Project Idea (Too Ambition Project for half a year)

The date is 2030 and natural resources have run almost dry, with the world previously at war over what water, food and oil the world bars its scars of devastation across many cities.

In London a air of thick dirt and nuclear mist hang, changing the dynamics of the cities, people are now moving into congregation at the food station across the city, Liverpool street is one of the most dense with the surviving Tower Hamlets residents moving out of there homes to be closer to the food and water outlets, the former streets are left in ruins following the bombs that fall.

The world security council has provided Androids programmed to insure order is kept in these hostile environments as humans can no longer be trusted in rationing the essentials fairly, all was well until the scavengers begin stealing computer equipment and hacking into the andy's changing the way they behave, leaves Rick Deckard WSC (world security council) agent to find these infected andy's and retire them.

Unit 15 - MF Crit Movie .mp4

Christmas Crit Film - Not Finish
Spitalfields 2011- 2030

Dissertation Idea

Synopsis of my dissertation proposal:
The film has been said to resemble many cities London included with the illumination of Piccadilly Circus, The film is also described as a over populated city which was based on a day in New York which was described as one day grinding to a standstill due to the volume of cars and people, like in Blade runner the city scenes are heavily dense and seem unbearable with vehicle traffic and pedestrian traffic.
Also as in New York and any major city there is a defined level in the class system with people dressed in what looks like pajamas in the film, without the maybe pajamas, poverty within major cities is reality and the film picks up on this and pushes the poverty level forty years into the future.

What from the film can we take and place on to "estimated" statistics of the future and seek the possibilities and realities of living in this "Los Angeles" of the future, at 2011 can we already see the beginnings of this and what if the Blade runner vision was only 11 years off the proposed 2019.

A quick search into global tends show a gloomy outlook where there is a shortage in resources and a estimated 8 billion people at a medium rate of population growth by 2030 an extra 1 billion more people than today, how will the current economic crisis cope with the addition of the extra population and extra costs.
