Pandemic Resilience with Hazel Borys: Safer citizens, better outcomes through innovation in land use and policy

views comments

What’s likely to linger in the aftermath of the global COVID crisis are the impacts on local and regional governments that provide the services citizens experience most directly in their daily lives. Faced with budget shortfalls, growing to-do lists for routine tasks delayed by the emergency, and general uncertainty about a “new normal,” how might governments address the uncertainty and respond effectively to the challenges? That’s the goal of our Pandemic Toolkit. Currently being translated into 7 languages, with English, Spanish, and Arabic available now at http://www.placemakers.com/pandemic-toolkit/. Join this session with the toolkit’s lead author, Hazel Borys, to explore the applications.
