By reflecting on my experience as a Masters degree graduate, a university lecturer and a design mentor on a youth
training programme in South Africa, I will provide evidence of how different pedagogical methods can either nurture
or hinder a student’s personal growth, therefore directly impacting their approach and ability as designers. I will
discuss the importance of creating awareness among students about how their values, opinions and goals can affect
their design decisions and influence what impact they make on the world around them. Moreover, this paper calls
for a global teaching philosophy that recognises empathy and respect as devices for sustainable world making.

In September 2017 the first multi-year standing lab undertaken by NouLAB was launched on the topic of Economic
Immigration. Along with more traditional Social Innovation Lab methodologies such as design thinking, systemic
design and Social Labs structures as defined by Hassan (2014), Jones (2014), and Westley et al. (2015), NouLAB
employed the participatory practices of the Art of Hosting and Harvesting Conversations that Matter (AoH) to design
and facilitate lab sessions.
The Economic Immigration Lab (EIL) has run for 18 months, and two full cycles. NouLAB has identified
linkages between the AoH approach and the systemic principles of design. Of specific interest is how multi-stakeholder
participants’ learning and capacity is effectively enabled by the practice of holding space, encouraging an atmosphere
of psychological safety, experimentation, learning, and addressing root causes of problems.

In order to cultivate students' environmental awareness and sustainable design thinking, and try to guide users' sustainable behavior through design. First, typical environmentally friendly interaction design cases are collected and divided into corresponding intervals of behavioral influence based on the product influentialtypesframework. Then, the multi-sensory experience map and user experience five levels are used to explore the relationship between behavior influential types and key interaction design elements.Through case analysis, the design strategies of different types of behavioral impact are summarized. Finally, based on open source hardware Arduino and sensors, intelligent interactive products are designed. The effectiveness of the design strategy is verified and optimized by curriculum design and exhibition. And the feasibility of carrying sustainable education training mode in intelligent interaction design is also verified.

Urban agglomerations play an increasingly significant role in the process of regional and national participation in
international labour division and competition. how to understand cities’ positions within urban agglomeration, and
how to promote economic development through complementarity-ness is a significant or worthwhile research subject.
This thesis took 11 cities from Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, one of the most developed
urban agglomerations in China as a case to clarify the characteristics of urban relationships and their impacts on
urban economic development. First, it measured and analysed the influencing paths of intercity relationships on urban
economic which were based on urban aggregation and diffusion effects, urban economic network and industrial
division of labour. Second, it judged intercity relationship as either competition or complementarity according to
the quantitative outcomes of the relationships of three industrial sectors. Finally, this thesis tested and evaluated the
impacts of intercity competition on urban economic development.
