2) Citizen Desgin Science is in my opninion a essenstial tool to improve the livability of the citizen. If it was my job to set up a CDS project, I would initially organize a gathering for all the people in the neighborhood. A gathering where people could hand in some hand written ideas or drawings and where they can brainstorm together. The best ideas will be further evaluated and in addition I would make the people select a couple of residents who will work together with the designers. They can represent all the people from the neighborhood in finding a solution for the ongoing problem. My parents resident is located in a quite new neighborhood where the influence of the people plays a significant role. It's rather similar to my suggestion here above. There is a group of neighborhood representatives who communicate with the township. If there problems according to the people in the neighborhood that need to be solved or vice verca, the township and the group of representatives will work together to find a feasible solution. In the picture you can see a part of my parents' neighborhood.
