The impact of covid on cities and regions : policy responses of local leaders

edited by Peter Karl Kresl (Charles P. Vaughan Professor of Economics Emeritus, Bucknell University, US) and Mattia Bertin (Adjunct Professor in Urban Planning and Design and in Disaster Planning and Post-disaster Rebuilding, Università Iuav di Venezia, Italy)

"The recent COVID-19 pandemic has arguably caused some of the most noticeable and influential societal and economic changes since World War Two. This path-breaking book investigates these changes and the subsequent responses of urban policy makers. Chapters offer keen insights into the methods differing urban regions have utilized to cope with their changing economic circumstances. With a global scope, the book focuses on the various significant impacts of the pandemic including effects on the employment of women and minorities, central city vitality, and the futures of small or isolated regions. Ultimately, it examines how policy makers are dealing with the prospective decline of social categories and of the vitality of their cities. Students and academics of such disciplines as urban policy, economic geography, and public policy will find the conclusions offered by this book to be imperative for the development of current research agendas. It will additionally be beneficial for policy makers working in urban and regional government bodies"--
