Designing systems and architecture for societies.
Need an interdisciplinary study of design!
Problem solving inherently includes problem finding, i.e., discovery of social expectations

Definition of Design
When designing social systems, such as urban transportation systems, we cannot simply apply constraint optimization algorithms.
To know requirements or constraints, we need to organize a workshop with different stakeholders.
