The map presents a speculative city composed of eight interconnected scenarios within the waste oil economy, tracing its trajectory from source and waste theft to by-product ecosystems. Each scenario is anchored to a distinct city block, forming a narrative network that operates as both conceptual framework and world-building device. Through this imagined urban environment, complex systems are translated into legible, navigable territories, allowing audiences to explore and reframe the economic, ecological, and social dimensions of the fatconomy.
