By the People: Designing a Better America

By the People - Designing a Better America

By the People: Designing a Better America - the third volume in Cooper Hewitt's series on socially responsible design, which began with Design for the Other 90% - examines how design is effectively challenging poverty and social inequality across America. The book explores current social, economic and environmental issues in America with a particular focus on marginalized and underserved communities. By the People features design projects organized into six working themes: Act, Save, Share, Live, Learn and Make. It features design solutions that expand access to education, food, health care and affordable housing; increase social and economic inclusion; offer improved alternative transportation options, and provide a balanced approach to land use between the built and natural environments.
