Community (&) Design (Paperback)

This book explores how design shapes and is shaped by communities across diverse physical and digital, urban and rural, local and transnational contexts. Bringing together scholars and practitioners from around the world, it investigates how design fosters interaction, identity, and belonging. From grassroots initiatives to global networks, COMMUNITY (&) DESIGN examines design for, in, and by communities, revealing how shared spaces, tools, and practices shape collective life – and how communities, in turn, design their own worlds. Crossing disciplines and geographies, it offers fresh insights into how design redefines what community can mean today.
