This book provides a framework for understanding the creation of
public value in urban environments. The ability of cities to
produce value is related to their capacity to generate meaningful
resources for city residents and workers that enable them to craft
meaningfulness in life and work. Meaningfulness and public value
require new ways of leading and developing city governance. This
extends to designing inclusive structures and processes for people
to grapple with the meanings and values underpinning public value
creation. A public value framework demands that city governance
goes beyond ordinary government to considerations of how to involve
city residents and workers in creating and maintaining the common
good. The common good is determined by an inclusive associational
life characterized by deliberative processes and opportunities for
social contribution. When acting upon their entitlements to make
the city, urban residents and workers - as members of diverse
civic, public and private organizations - co-create the meanings
that facilitate the collective action necessary to translate values
into value. The experience of cooperating for the common good
produces meanings that people can adopt into a sense that their
lives have significance and purpose. This is particularly relevant
to understanding how to motivate just and inclusive sustainability
transitions, especially as cities recover from the Covid-19
pandemic. Focusing on cities and urban policy, the main theme of
this book is to elaborate on public values for cities and city
policies, and to further develop the concept of the meaningful
city. This book aims to provide new kinds of tools for city
development that can help them co-create resilience against future
shocks.
