Become a change maker in your community through design thinking! Design thinkers are problem solvers who try to understand a problem from the perspective of the person experiencing it. This guiding principle leads to solutions that fit the user best, not the designer. The design-thinking process inspires empathy, collaboration, and innovative thinking. Each title in this unique series features case studies related to social change and engaging hands-on learning. Designing Inclusive Communities, Communities need to give all their members a place and a voice by planning in an inclusive and collaborative way. This introduction to the design-thinking process shows how to create practices in your community that reduce the barriers that prevent some members, such as older people or those with disabilities, from participating. Finding ways to improve accessibility can also lead to solutions to big issues-such as helping refugees integrate into new communities. Book jacket.
