Abstract
This thesis provides some answers to the question, how can a small community sustainably adapt to a localized oil boom? The typology for this examination to the problem is a recycling center. The theoretical premise/unifying idea that guides the research is, “the small community must adapt to the demand of an oil boom but with a sustainable approach.” The project justifi cation is, “If the small community doesn’t adapt to the demand of an oil boom it is likely to suffer socioeconomic collapse and environmental ruin. A sustainable approach is needed to ensure that the town’s infrastructure can adapt.”
