COVID-19 has disrupted cities everywhere. Community groups, businesses, and governments are tasked with responding and rebuilding from the pandemic – while still striving to make cities more equitable and resilient for everyone. From India to Kenya, many projects and organizations that submitted to the Prize for Cities are responding to COVID and utilizing their unique approaches to find new ways forward.
