Cities for a Resilient Recovery: International Lessons on recovery from COVID-19 / 23 July 2020
Each week the University of Manchester brings together relevant international practices and examples on recovery from COVID-19. The weekly briefing is curated by the Global Resilient Cities Network to bring key lessons and examples targeted for resilience officers, emergency planners and other city practitioners. The structure of the briefing follows the City Resilience Framework – specifically the four drivers that cities have been identified as mattering the most when a city faces chronic stresses or sudden shocks - Health and Wellbeing, Economy & Society; Infrastructure & Environment; and Leadership & Strategy.
Highlights of the week: In this weeks' briefing we explore how health and wellbeing outcomes can be improved by considering a gender inclusive and place-based approach to hotspot management. And focus on how shocks like heatwaves can put strains on existing human health conditions, and on surge capacity plans for hospitals already dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.
