The twenty-first century has been beset by a global pandemic, war and increasingly concerning environmental disasters. Designers and industries have been forced to imagine a world in which the only way to move forward is to look back. The design and industry sectors need to understand the role they can play in removing obstacles to social progress and work together to create healthier human societies that can interact with the world in a sustainable way.

This book presents contributions from leading experts that reveal that a better and more prosperous world is achievable through good work and system design. This book consists of chapters that bring together researchers, academics, policy makers, and designers from technology companies and business associations with the objective of developing a focused vision that enhances innovation through design and industry for a better future. Through a transdisciplinary scientific exchange, it lists responses to the challenges of climate change and environmental degradation that will contribute to a more modern, resource-efficient, competitive economy, with smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth, promoting knowledge, inter-sector collaboration, health, education and a digital society for all. By putting the human at the heart of what can be accomplished, this book investigates better design in the disciplines of work, healthcare, product, system, manufacturing, and industry. The reader will gather an interdisciplinary perspective on what good design can achieve and why it is needed to challenge the climate crisis.

The Handbook of Design and Industry: Scenarios for Sustainable Futures is essential reading for researchers and academics in the fields and disciplines of ergonomics/human factors, occupational health and safety, industrial design, product design, industrial engineering, materials engineering, process engineering, computer engineering, communication design, electronics and telecommunications engineering.
