Cities and Communities Beyond COVID-19: How Local Leadership Can Change Our Future for the Better

The COVID-19 virus outbreak has rocked the world and it is widely accepted that there can be no return to the prepandemic society of 2019. However, many suggestions for the future of society and the planet are aimed at national governments, international bodies and society in general.

Drawing on a decade of research by an internationally renowned expert, this book focuses on how cities and communities can lead the way in developing recovery strategies that promote social, economic and environmental justice.

It offers new thinking tools for civic leaders and activists as well as practical suggestions on how we can co-create a more inclusive post COVID-19 future for us all.
