Little Big Trondheim

Combining the agility of a close-knit community and the diversity of a big city

How do we make sure the world we design is one in which we would like to live?

We are surrounded by design. Design has gone into the products and services we use every day, as well as the communities in which we live. As citizens we are part of an ongoing design process. How do we make the most of it? Where can we make a difference? Who can we connect with? And why should we care?
