If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

User driven co-creation and co-design

Main Takeaways

  • The co-creation process provides greater value to innovation by fostering relationships between users and organizations.
  • Some of the tools to co-create services are the training of innovators, where the learning of agile methodologies and tools associated with creative thinking is encouraged.
  • The improvement of the urban space must consider the welfare of citizens, working with them to co-create public value, always taking into account the programs for the care of the environment and consumption.
