Abstract

Ever since designers have reflected on their roles and focus on more 'social' aspect of their practices and potential, design suddenly is tackling everything from climate change to global poverty, from redistributing resources to business strategy. It does not mean that designers are running everything in society, but it is really wide open now for the roles design can play in society.
