Abstract

Which neighbourhoods in Canadian cities are most vulnerable to COVID-19 spread? Which are able to best implement social distancing? Urban governance expert Dr. David Wachsmuth and his team will analyze urban areas to create neighbourhood-level information on COVID-19 transmission risk. Their work will determine the opportunities and threats related to lifting social distancing measures. The results will help policymakers recommend the best measures for social distancing and travel restrictions in the months ahead.
