Cynthia E. Smith is Curator of Socially Responsible Design at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. She curated the current show Design with the Other 90%: CITIES at the Museum of Contemporary Craft and the Mercy Corps Action Center.
The show presents urban design projects as storyboards, in photographs, videos and as built objects. It's well worth seeing.
Smith herself has done field design research contributing to the Design Museum program.
She provides a history of the program, the exhibit and her experiences in other countries.
