“Infinitely harmless, the floor is obliged to offer its occupants stability - yet receives from its users systematic harshness, if not abuse, in return.”
Keller Easterling

“Messiness is smarter than newness. Obligations are more empowering than freedom.”
Keller Easterling, Medium Design

“As a legal and economic instrument, the zone presides over a cocktail of enticements and legal exemptions that are sometimes mixed together with domestic civil laws, sometimes manipulated by business to create international law, and sometimes adopted by the nation in its entirety. Incentives vary in every location but might include: holidays from income or sales taxes, dedicated utilities like electricity or broadband, deregulation of labor laws, prohibition of labor unions and strikes, deregulation of environmental laws, streamlined customs and access to cheap imported or domestic labor, cheap land and foreign ownership of property, exemption from import/export duties, foreign language services, or relaxed licensing requirements.”
Keller Easterling, Extrastatecraft: The Power of Infrastructure Space
