Abstract

The paper summarizes the results and ambitions of series of collective workshops with actors groups of Trakia Economic Zone (TEZ) in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. As part of an action research Ph.D. project, the paper explores the possibilities for the transformation of TEZ from an extractive operation into space with local value. Starting from the ideological position that change is always possible, the research test possibilities to counteract the dominant global narrative of contemporary production from a local perspective. The paper demonstrates how space can be used both as a tool to understand the relationship between social and economic formations of TEZ and a way to transform them.
