This short report illustrates a research project called Mapping Values, which aims to explore the concept of a "good city" and how it can be achieved through better urban governance. The report focuses on the participatory design phase of the project, which involved engaging with community members in the Kilburn area of London. The participants were asked to reflect on their experiences and feelings about different places in Kilburn and to create a mental model-map of the neighbourhood. The report describes the methods used in the participatory design phase, including walking workshops and co-creation workshops. It also presents the findings from the data analysis, which highlight the importance of local shops, green spaces, diversity, and social connections in creating a sense of community in Kilburn. The report also discusses the challenges and risks facing the neighbourhood, such as the loss of spaces for youth and potential developments that could reduce green space and diversity. Overall, the report provides insights into the values and experiences of community members in Kilburn and their vision for a good city.
