"After three taxing years of pandemic restrictions across cities the world over, should we continue probing the urban implications of COVID‑19? The authors of The City After COVID‑19 answer with a resoundingly convincing ‘yes’. Packed with transnational lessons from Toronto, Chicago, and Johannesburg, this book is rich in insights, poignant in depictions, and innovative in theorization. It is a timely companion for all of us who want to think of the after of the global pandemic, while preparing for the next."Michele Acuto, Professor of Urban Resilience, School of Geographical Sciences, University of Bristol"The City After COVID-19 offers insights that reach well beyond disease governance and future pandemic preparedness. By disentangling the epistemic, political, and implementation capacities required for more equitable crisis governance, it speaks not only to urban scholars but also to the multi-scaled constellations of state and non-state actors now grappling with the multiple crises confronting cities. In a fine example of policy-relevant scholarship, the book’s empirical grounding in the experiences of Chicago, Toronto and Johannesburg generates translatable lessons for practitioners while underscoring the fundamental importance of context."Pauline McGurik, Senior Professor in Human Geography, School of Geography and Sustainable Communities, University of Wollongong"This important book provides a series of comparative, interdisciplinary, and multi-scalar insights into the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic framed by the experience of three cities. The City after COVID-19 marks a major contribution to the burgeoning field of urban epidemiology as a distinctive facet to critical urban studies."Matthew Gandy, Professor of Cultural and Historical Geography, Department of Geography, University of Cambridge"Even as the COVID-19 pandemic recedes into the distance, the relationship between cities and disease is becoming increasingly important. It is vital that we grasp how different cities approached, handled and emerged from the pandemic, and to ask what we might learn. This is an excellent read, carefully elucidating and comparing the inequalities, vulnerabilities, failures and successes that shaped the pandemic in different parts of the urban world, and provoking pivotal questions for all of us concerned about our cities and their futures."Colin McFarlane, Professor, Department of Geography, Durham University"The City After COVID-19 offers an readable and insightful account of how cities navigated one of the defining crises of our time. Through comparative analysis of Chicago, Toronto and Johannesburg, the authors show that pandemic preparedness is never simply a technical challenge, but a question of governance, trust, inequality and civic engagement. Their concept of 'equity capacity' offers an important framework for understanding what is needed to prepare for future pandemics and other urban emergencies. The book is essential reading for anyone looking to build resilience to urban crises."Annie Wilkinson, Research Fellow, Institute of Development Studies
