Abstract
This chapter discusses a systems approach to incorporate principles of respectful space design into the emerging fields of Peace Engineering, Peace Data, and Peace Finance. These “peace-fields” require the knowledge of human behavior, the influence of technology, and our institutions that are components of respectful space design. Additionally, the inclusion of these fields address the needs for a post-colonial perspective(s) and the elimination of conflict roadblocks in respectful space creation. As an example, we discuss the limitations of the international communities’ ambitions, specifically the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s), where the inclusion of this systems approach should be useful. The system is presented as a triangular construct to align on the global themes of re-designing engineering education, re-engineering prosperity, and emphasizing intersectionality. By enhancing the transformative shift provided by finance, data, and engineering, we present opportunities to widen structural global-cultural peripheral views; unveiling cultural blind spots; and create non-colonial metrics.
