In Designing for Society, Paul Hekkert and Nynke Tromp provide a hands-on tool for design professionals and students who wish to use design to counteract social issues. Viewing the artefact as a unique means of facilitating behavioural change to realise social impact, this book goes beyond the current trend of applying design thinking to enhancing public services, and beyond the idea of the designer as a facilitator of localised social change.

Industry Reviews
Everything that's designed has effects on society, and how we live, and designers have a responsibility to understand this, and design with attention to the impacts their work can have, now and for future generations. In Designing for Society, Nynke Tromp and Paul Hekkert give us a thoughtful and well-informed set of ways of approaching this complex and wide-ranging subject, demonstrating the power of designing products, services, and systems with a focus on social value. * Dan Lockton, Chair of Design Studies at Carnegie Mellon University, USA *
To the large numbers of students and professionals who want to 'do good' and to make a difference in the world, this book offers a wealth of insights and guidelines. The 'society-centred design practice' outlined by the authors is both theoretically exciting and useful in practice. * Erik Stolterman Bergqvist, Professor of Informatics at Indiana University, Bloomington, USA *
