Cities Unmasked

In this episode, we will be discussing physical and mental health amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically exploring the question of who has access to well-being during these trying times. Who has become marginalized during this pandemic and why? How can city planners and municipal governments better support those with physical and mental health challenges when designing urban spaces? Join Lubna, Victoria, Ali, and Brittany as they dive into this important discussion.

In this episode, join Brittany, Ali, Victoria, and Lubna as we discuss democratizing the inequitable access to green space. While efforts to democratize green space has been a goal of cities long before the age of COVID-19, the conversation has dramatically intensified since the pandemic amplified the socio-spatial disparity. While there is hope that this momentum will accelerate the pre-pandemic push for better community gardens, more accessible parks, and green streetscapes, a tangible change must originate from city governments prioritizing them.
