This critical, often overlooked step ensures that citizen voices have a stronger impact on design and policymaking processes. By presenting a novel understanding of design, this book serves both practitioners and scholars of design, as well as professionals in related fields that use objects and tools to shape social situations. It guides readers in making informed decisions on complex social challenges.
