Issue 04: Abundant Island 浮城自足

Economy that serves people
以人為本的後增長經濟發展模式

Still strolling around? Are you enjoying the slow pace of the island, or simply can’t find food because all restaurants are “closed for a few days”?

ISLANDERS島民 Zine is a map-zine that enquires into islands, their people and lifestyles to develop original perspectives on sustainable living. Based on in-depth research and mapping, each issue of ISLANDERS reveals another facet of the ordinary condition of the island. As such, the zine is a first step in our process towards envisioning spaces and territories that are more caring for their residents.
