Pandemic Risk, Response, and Resilience: COVID-19 Responses in Cities Around the World

Indrajit Pal, Rajib Shaw

ISBN: 978-0-323-99277-0

Pandemic Risk, Response, and Resilience: COVID-19 Responses in Cities Around the World examines the pandemic’s global impacts on public health, economies, society and labor. The book shows how COVID-19 intensified natural and anthropogenic hazards and destroyed years of communities, governments and the work of development organizations and their investments. It focuses on how disaster resilience is central to achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals in a post-COVID-19 era. Sections cover current governance practices, with special attention given to Asia’s more successful responses. It shows how the various sectors across that society were most impacted by COVID-19, including tourism and food systems.

This book is an essential reference for researchers and practitioners who need to understand response, preparedness and future pathways for pandemic resilience.
