being based on context-related, service-oriented solutions, the next economy calls for a robust adaptation of traditional ideas

"This economy’s products are complex artefacts such as: distributed power generation systems, new food, intelligent mobility, programmes of urban and regional development, collaborative services (where inclusion and user involvement are important), and health care. Considered as a whole these solutions are to be considered a new kind of service: complex localised systems, whereby different actors interact in order to produce a commonly recognised value. The result is that by being based on context-related, service-oriented solutions, the next economy calls for a robust adaptation of traditional ideas on the means of production and consumption, and consequently on design. The use of service design in the public sector is needed to keep the marginal areas competitive and to create new ways to overcome obstacles which the geographic context suggests. Service design methods propose new inclusive ways of public service design where peer-to-peer service production as well as participatory budgeting, build a sense of community and commitment."
