Abstract:
Design is transitioning modalities, from participation to deep engagement, creating active citizen(s). Authors define, communicate, and navigate post-participatory sustainable design, (interviewing 50+ project leaders), catalysing sustainable activities. Engaging Design, enables creative individuals, communities & collective action(s) to craft/design synergies: motivated by mutual respect, designing ‘with’ not for, shifts understandings’ of public engagement, transcending disciplines, providing sustainable value. Analysis and insights, yield recipes to cultivate sustainable active citizen(s).
