are (part of) the problem,
but they can also be
(a big part of) the solution
26. in a small, densely populated,
highly connected planet,
social resources are
the most abundant ones
27. cohousing, collaborative housing,
couch surfing, circles of care, elderly
mutual-help, micro-nurseries, time
banks, local currencies, car pooling,
car sharing, food coops, farmers
markets, zero-miles food, communitysocial innovations
supported agriculture, neighbourhood
care, street festivals, community
social innovations are
gardens, community-based processes
design-driven tourism,
social enterprises, co-working, fair
trade organisations, social incubators

35. design trend/3
problem solving/sense making:
open-ended co-design processes
in which everybody, expert and notexpert, acts at the different nodes of
the network
39. mapping
the state of the arts
Mombasa, Curitiba, ...
Green Maps in several informal settlements
Indicating interesting places. Creating groups of mappers.
