Abstract:
Although significant progress has been made by integrating technologies in promoting task efficiency, high connectivity, and economic prosperity, environmental issues are often neglected. As consumer demands are growing and diversifying, organizations are keen to adopt design thinking as a catalyst for innovation. This study analyzes five design thinking workshops to address the significance of incorporating sustainability perspectives to solve wicked problems in smart cities. We expect this paper will contribute to the discourse of design thinking for sustainability and social innovation.
