This Civic Design publication is conceived as a compilation of projects, reflections and research that have been carried out around the Civic Design course since its first edition in 2015, supported by the Civic Innovation School, the CivicWise network academy.

The book offers a comprehensive presentation of the Civic Design methodology, based on the development of collaborative dynamics to generate collective solutions for the community wellbeing. It combines different disciplines, such as service design, urban planning, industrial design, architecture, policy making, and many more.

This method can support cultural leaders in the design and development of processes of collaboration with multiple stakeholders and citizens for the improvement of cultural, artistic and social services in their territory. The mobilization of these local actors can lead to the activation of forms of collective intelligence.
