      abstract = {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.
