Cities and infectious disease crisis: COVID-19 lessons from four continents
Join us as we reflect on nearly five years since the WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Experts from four continents will share insights into tackling public health and infectious disease challenges while addressing how urban infrastructure, housing, and governance have evolved during this global emergency.
Discover the findings from four USF-funded projects that bridge research and practice to address pandemic-driven urban issues in the Global North and South. Engage with panellists as they connect experiences across diverse urban contexts and explore innovative paths for urban transformation in a post-crisis world.

"The USF has played a crucial role in creating space for urban research that not only moves beyond academic spheres but also values embodied, decolonial, and insurgent ways of knowing. As a queer geographer working in and through the messy, affective terrains of urban India, this Fellowship didn’t just fund my research — it affirmed it. It gave me the courage and capacity to experiment with form, to centre marginal voices, and to hold space for joy, pain, memory, and resistance in my work. I remain in awe of the nurturing, and genuinely transformative support USF continues to offer its Fellows — during, and far beyond, the fellowship period."
