ABSTRACT
This chapter begins by addressing the questions and by presents the inherent sustainability challenges faced by society in relation to areas of housing and energy, consumption, food, and transport. Clune and Lockton discuss design initiatives in response to these challenges from a theoretical and practical perspective, and then present few in-depth case studies. Design may also assist with managing long-term diseases, such as diabetes and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) that require life-long management and attention from care professionals. The discussion on design process continues the theme of self-determination by exploring the design processes involved in enabling participants to take the lead in developing their own solutions, such as in the case of the Field Guide to Human-Centred Design in 2015 or The Knee High Design Challenge that looked at reframing problems that existing approaches to public health had so far failed to address.
