Today, we welcome Dr. Alessandro Venerandi and Professor Sergio Porta. We discuss their article "Urban form and COVID-19 cases & deaths in Greater London: An urban morphometric approach" published in Urban Analytics and City Science in 2022. This article takes a finer-grained approach to infection spread, examining urban form and habitable space through several indicators, including floor area ratios, to answer the question of what neighbourhoods are truly conducive to virus spread.
