This book aims to illustrate the value of design in a systematic and scientific manner, to reap the full benefits of design. The authors aim to address the challenges in the quantification and evaluation of the value of design. It will also help the readers understand how impactful design can support future of innovation a sustainable future life when coupled with the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The sharing of knowledge from subject matter experts from institutes of higher learning and industry brings content rigor and real-life scenarios which enhances the learning of the reader.

A key topic of discussion is on design and AI, which showcases current technological advances which inspires readers to think creatively and explore new frontiers in cutting edge design. Design can play a significant role in urbanism, food resiliency, urban robotics, consumer durables, productivity and efficiency enhancement, human-centric design for technology, ethics, physical and digital spaces, etc. In the area of consumer durables, by looking at design which prioritizes durability and longevity are integral to fostering a more sustainable lifestyle. Human-centric design technology ensures that solutions are designed to meet the needs, behaviours, and preferences of individuals, thereby driving user engagement, adoption, and sustained use of sustainable technologies. Both physical and digital spaces are integral to shaping a sustainable future. Thoughtful urban planning, sustainable architecture, and the responsible use of digital technologies, environments are designed to enhance quality of life, reduce environmental impact, and promote a more equitable and resilient society.

This book will be of interest to the industry professionals in the fields of urbanism, sustainability, design, and AI. It would also serve as a goof reference for students in architecture, engineering, and AI programs, which would study the intersection of technology and design.
