Early industrial capitalism:

• Early industrial capitalism:

• Unconscious-decentralized / focus on material needs / subordination of state to markets: Invisible Hand / focus on production / unbridled exploitation of nature / theoretical democracy

• Fordist & state-socialist industrialism:

• Conscious-centralized / new (and disguised) focus on non-material needs / Need for more planning: political intervention / More concern with consumption & (quantitative) demand / managed exploitation of nature / representative democracy

• Postindustrial Potentials (today):

• Conscious-decentralized / direct focus on non-material needs / integration & transformation of state & markets / integration with nature / direct democracy
• Super-industrialism: Post-Fordist globalization: avoidance, suppression or channeling of the above. Crisis.

• zero discharge and industrial clusters

• complete use of plant materials
• plantations, biorefineries and green cities

• “The industrial age replaced the natural processes of the landscape with the global machine…while regenerative design seeks now to replace the machine with landscape.”
