Strategic design planning for social development Elizabeth Rámirez

Industrial design has been a factor of change linked to progress and innovation. In the last decades this paradigm has been diluted because from its original conception, it is a discipline oriented to the solution of problems and satisfaction of needs, among which are those derived precisely from industrial progress, such as poverty and inequality; therefore it is necessary to find alternatives so that design contributes in a sensible way to more supportive social environments that promote a fair and egalitarian development. Although possibly in that search it can lose a little its protagonism.
