I think it's another extended version of the design for everyone as a design that can embrace generations, classes, and various interests in our society. We select the best cases in public design and introduce the best cases to the people and all those who love our public design. It is of great significance in enhancing certain social qualities and roles of public design and seeking developmental directions.]
