Abstract
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.
