This open access book represents one of the key milestones of
DESIGNSCAPES, an H2020 CSA (Coordination and Support Action)
research project funded by the European Commission under the Call
"User-driven innovation: value creation through design-enabled
innovation". The book demonstrates that adopting design allows us
to embed innovation within the city so as to arrive at feasible
answers to complex global challenges. In this way, innovation can
become disruptive, while also sparking a dynamic of gradual change
in the "urbanscape" it acts within. To explore this potential, the
book puts forward the concept of "design enabled innovation in
urban environments" and examines the part that the city can play in
promoting and facilitating the adoption of design among public and
private sector innovators. This leads to a potential evaluation
framework in which a given urbanscape is assessed both in terms of
its capacity for generating innovation, and of the nature (more or
less design-dependent or design-prone) of the innovative
initiatives it hosts. This thread of reasoning holds many promising
implications, including a possible "third way" between those who
dream of an alternative economic model where revenues and growth
are sacrificed on the altar of social and environmental respect,
and the supporters of the traditional market-based view, who feel
it is enough to add a touch of responsibility and concern to a
system that should continue rewarding the profitability of
innovations.
