Reframing Transport Poverty through a Community-driven Design Approach

This study explores how a community-driven design approach can address human flourishing in the context of mobility. Drawing on design ethnography and co-design in two Swedish urban areas, the study surfaces alternative design ideas rooted in everyday life and community values. The research contributes to design for social sustainability by illustrating how place-based, participatory processes can make room for local narratives and values, offering a pathway for embedding wellbeing into the design process.
