The 1972 report Limits to Growth, prepared at the request of the Club of Rome by the MIT professor Dennis Meadows, sounded the alarm: “Stop growth!” Researchers from around the world have been pointing out the risks of excessive consumption resulting from the all-out race for growth since the late 1960s. But how have we responded to their warnings?

Whilst numerous protest movements are expressing their outrage of experts and citizens alike, in the face of the dominant economic and social systems, the CID is questioning the role that design can play in this social movement.
