Designing Cities For All (DCFA) Soft Book Launch

Designing cities for all (DCFA) is joining Designing Society exposition during Dutch Design Week 2024 in collaboration with The Embassy of Inclusive Society. This programme focuses on the role of design in (re)shaping and (re)creating inclusive cities by, for and with everyone and every living thing. At the Designing Society exposition we will present the soft launch of our upcoming book: ‘Closing perspectives on Designing cities for all’—a collection of essays exploring the intersection of (regenerative) design and inclusivity.

Designing Cities For All (DCFA) Soft Book Launch

This book explores the journey of DCFA since 2021 and the thoughts, ideas, conversations and case studies of the collective that seeks not only to design a more inclusive tomorrow but to play a role in processing the collective trauma of our time – “the shared wound embedded in cultural narratives, societal structures, and historical events,” as DCFA fellow Shinta Oosterwaal defines in her essay. Exclusion is a common and deeply felt wound. The primary goal of DCFA was, and continues to be, to challenge the status quo of exclusion by design, exploring how cities can be crafted to ensure that everyone and every living being feels a sense of belonging – no matter who they might be.

Are you excited to get to know more about Studio Designing cities for all? Join us at the booklaunch of ‘Closing perspectives on Designing Cities For All’ on 22 October! Hopefully we will see you then.
