UN-Habitat has been actively helping governments respond to and recover from COVID-19. Keynote speaker Maimunah Mohd Sharif and panellist Dr Eda share how UN-Habitat works with cities to address the pandemic, providing insights into city-level dynamics and highlighting the importance of collaboration for more resilient cities.
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted many cities’ infrastructure plans and projects. At the same time, clearer skies and cleaner air since the lockdowns have also revealed that cities are key to better environments.

How can they design and structure investments to insure them against continued uncertainty, and what are some best practices of development measures and approaches that would ensure the success of their projects?
After a longish break, we are delighted to invite you to join our last three Urban Studies seminars for this academic year via Zoom. Our first presenter on 26 May is Dr Darja Reuschke from the University of Southampton on the topic "Entrepreneurial Creativity in the City".

Globalisation and rapid urbanisation have created neighbourhoods that are more dynamic than ever. Assuring sustainability in our neighbourhoods plays an important role in delivering sustainable cities. The Centre for Sustainable Healthy and Learning Cities (SHLC) is working to respond to urban challenges across fast-growing cities and neighbourhoods in Africa and Asia.

Rebuild, relocate, prevent, or brush aside, whatever you may think the future holds, explore the challenges climate change brings and what it means for urban planning.
