Abstract

This project focuses on the social geography of pandemic management. Using a social justice lens, it will examine the effectiveness of municipal efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 through the regulation of public space, and the impact these efforts have had on marginalized communities and residents in Ottawa, Ontario. An in-depth case study of municipal pandemic management in Ottawa will help inform public health, policy, and community responses to COVID-19, and will serve as a pilot study to develop an effective methodology for comparative research in other cities.
