New page

'''Co-design''' is the practice of designing systems, services, or artifacts in collaboration with end-users and affected communities, treating them as equal partners rather than sources of data. It is closely related to [[Participatory Design|participatory design]] but places greater emphasis on the equality of design authority — the designer and the participant share decision-making power throughout the process. The tradition has roots in Scandinavian workplace democracy and has been adopted in healthcare, urban planning, and technology development. Co-design is distinct from [[Adversarial Design|adversarial design]] in that it seeks mutual agreement rather than structured conflict, though both reject the designer-as-expert model. See also [[Community-Based Design|community-based design]], which emphasizes local ownership of the design process.\n\n[[Category:Design]]
