This book contains 21 short chapters by planning, geography, transport, and other scholars from around the world, who discuss the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on urban inequalities in terms of policy and planning. They address how the pandemic and the policies it has created caused changes in how cities function, including working from home, platform economy workers, cycling, small businesses, and nightlife, as well as the concept of resilience in post-pandemic cities; the increased social inequality brought on by the pandemic and the efforts for dealing with it in Kenya, Sri Lanka, India, Chile, and Colombia, as well as addressing inequalities for older adults and low-income individuals; and municipal and urban policy responses, such as lockdowns, public transit changes, the creative city model, and regional planning.
