Current thinking suggests that once vaccinations successfully roll out, ‘post-pandemic’ cities will come back to life. By contrast this proposition is that the resilient city is pandemic-ready, not simply post-pandemic. The project will use citizen science mapping to gather and explore the affective values people ascribe to being in public and with other people, across a city. It will focus on two value indexes: health and inclusivity. By combining ‘public participatory GIS’, transec walks, focus grouping, and oral histories, it will produce a rounded dataset for one pilot area of a city. Co-creation workshops will be held throughout, with a final workshop on policy translation in the pilot area to co-create better governance. This project will effectively explore whether better urban governance is achievable with better understandings of how people feel about urban space.
