Addressing wellbeing, health, and inclusivity in sustainable design for mobility: Paris and Cairo 1Université de Technologie de Compiègne, France; 2CentraleSupélec, France; 3The American University in Cairo, Egypt Cities play a major role in designing future mobility plans. Our question is how to contribute to sustainable mobility design while effectively accounting for social equity, health, and wellbeing considerations. After defining a list of mobility-related social issues, two stakeholder-based workshops with mobility users from two major cities, namely Paris and Cairo, were conducted. Participants explored mobility problems through eighteen purposive persona models in total. In Cairo, participants mainly reported safety and security issues while in Paris, mobility stress was dominant. Transition design for cultural inclusivity: a systemic service design perspective on the halal ecosystem 1Department of Strategic Design, Faculty of Design, Kyushu University, Japan; 2Graduate School of Design, Kyushu University, Japan Transition Design has gained attention for sustainability, yet its cultural dimensions remain underexplored. This paper introduces Transition Design for Cultural Inclusivity, examining the halal ecosystem in Fukuoka, Japan, as a case of cultural transition in a non-Islamic context. Using a systemic service design approach, the study maps the current ecosystem, envisions a 2045 inclusive future, and outlines transition pathways. The research contributes by addressing a gap and extending Transition Design into the cultural domain, highlighting its role in fostering inclusive futures. Designing an interregional innovation community for the circular economy Saarland University of Applied Sciences, Germany This contribution analyses key factors for establishing innovation communities within the circular economy. A mixed-method approach combines systematic literature review and a stakeholder survey to identify success conditions, governance requirements, and implementation challenges. The results underline the importance of open, interdisciplinary networks and adaptive, participative governance. Recommendations focus on iterative evaluation, stakeholder inclusion, and scalable models for long-term impact. Cultivating sustainable conditions for citizen(s)… through ‘engaging design’ 1Royal College of Art, United Kingdom; 2École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland 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). | ||
