Social design is mentioned in relation to long-term community partnerships built on a shared vision of a desirable future, which the book connects to a sense of responsibility toward future generations.
The book's single substantive mention of Social Design occurs in the Partners Component's discussion of the future orientation of collaboration: 'Strategic Alliances in business and long-term community partnerships in social design are predicated on a shared vision for a desirable future.' This future orientation is said to imbue partnerships 'with a profound ethical dimension, connecting them to the principle of intergenerational equity.'
