INNOVATE FOR ALL
Instead of designing for an ‘average user’ (excluding all those with different access requirements), design buildings, cities and services around the multiplicity of individual needs different people have. Develop artificial intelligence for social good, dismantling human biases, enabling robotics, augmenting not replacing humans, designing not for ‘average users’ (which tends to be biased towards men who are white), but for a multiplicity of different kinds of users. Invest in companies that improve quality of life for workers and also those creating services and products that facilitate living in symbiosis with the environment Privilege companies owned by workers, who then get a share in the company’s fortunes (and share responsibility for the quality of its work). Model different approaches from growth capitalism: foster a diversity of company structures that put their people first.
