<div style="font-weight: normal; margin: 0px;" class="">This workshop reflects on the role of the HCI community in addressing sustainable development in cities, regional centres and rural communities. The workshop will bring together academics, researchers
and practitioners to share their experiences, expertise and visions for: (1) evolving HCI design approaches to move beyond the individual; (2) re-engaging with institutions in order to repoliticise HCI practices, projects and methods, and; (3) counteracting
depoliticisation in large parts of the design field. We are specifically interested in ways of 'designing smart' by engaging communities throughout the process of addressing complex challenges, such as social inequality, economic disparity and environmental
degradation.</div>

<div style="font-weight: normal; margin: 0px;" class="">The main objective of our workshop is to bring academic researchers and practitioners together to explore and debate new approaches for co-designing communities, cities, regional centres, services and
experiences of the future by engaging a variety of people in the design process.</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin: 0px;" class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin: 0px;" class="">Submissions to this workshop should take the concept of designing smart to the next level by exploring strategies, mechanisms, stakeholders (and their roles), technologies, design approaches, and methodologies
that look at ‘scaling-up’ efforts to go beyond sustainable development on an individual level and push and scale up to the broader community, city, state, national or planetary level. Specifically, submissions should either address systemic issues pertinent
across different layers, or align with one or more of the UN sustainable development goals </div>
