For decades, we've been taught that human-centricity is the key to good design. But now, this paradigm is showing its limitations, especially in addressing the complexity of 21st-century challenges. Today for a good design, we need to broaden our horizons and design in a way that meets the needs of not just people but humanity and the planet. To be agents of positive change, it's crucial to think more broadly about the consequences of our work to minimize the chances of creating more problems than we are trying to solve. Design that is not good for our planet is not suitable for people either.
