Cities are the places where humans have always interacted closely with each other and where trade and immigration has brought people together from around the world. So the COVID-19 pandemic is raising many questions about the future of urban areas. Learn about how cities are combating the pandemic, shifting the economy, reversing trends of globalization, and witnessing increased polarization. We will examine case studies of cities in the US and around the world including New York City (US), Wujan (China), Seoul (South Korea), London (UK), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), and Johannesburg (South Africa) and discuss the future of urban life in the 21st century.
