Redesigning America's Future Proposal 05: Expand national grants to support interdisciplinary community design assistance programs based on human-centered design principles.
Community design assistance programs are an important part of extending the direct reach of design where it has the most impact—locally. Often these programs provide the best opportunity for local communities to understand the public policy codes and regulations that affect them.
Through the National Endowment for the Arts and the Environmental Protection Agency, many programs have been funded to support design for the built environment in rural and urban settings. Yet, the experience of community involves all human-made objects, communications, environments, and experiences; and thus design assistance needs to be conducted in a human-centered holistic way.
The expansion of national design grants to support interdisciplinary design assistance based on human-centered design principles ensures community empowerment in all designed aspects of their communities.
