协同设计被认为是一个强大的工具，使用户成为设计过程的一部分。在美国，与儿童的共同设计通常与学术组织有关。在合作设计的一种形式中，合作探究，儿童和成人在实验室环境中一起设计。不幸的是，生活在非富裕地区的儿童可能很难参加这样的团体，因为他们无法参加设计会议，因为缺乏交通选择或父母参与。本文回顾了在美国一个经济不景气的城市进行的四年合作设计，其唯一目的是试图在设计过程中纳入更多的声音。在合作探究的内部和外部工作，作者讨论了城市的种族隔离和阶级主义的历史，以及研究人员如何在城市环境中建设共同设计团队时更加公平和平等。在儿童容易到达的地方举行更短、更集中的设计会议是更具包容性的共同设计的关键。
Co-design is considered a powerful tool to empower users to be part of the design process. In the United States, co-design with children is often associated with academic organizations. In one form of co-design, Cooperative Inquiry, children and adults design together in a lab environment. Unfortunately, children who live in non-affluent areas may have trouble participating in groups like this because they are unable to attend design sessions due to a combination of lack of transit options or parental involvement. This paper reflects on four years of co-design in an American, economically depressed city with the sole purpose of trying to include more voices in the design process. Working within and then beyond Cooperative Inquiry, the authors discuss the city's history of racial segregation and classism and how researchers can be more equitable and equal in their construction of co-design teams in urban environments. Shorter, more focused design sessions in locations easily accessible by children are the key to more inclusive co-design.
