Summary:

"Designing for Dignity recognizes the role of our built environment in supporting and fostering the health of individuals, neighborhoods and communities. It acknowledges that nothing we design is neutral and that the places we inhabit shape our ideas about who we are and what we deserve. Drawing on broad multidisciplinary evidence and more context-specific lived expertise of end users in the spaces we design, Designing for Dignity aims to create places that protect, promote, and celebrate the dignity of life.."-- Provided by publisher.
