There are multiple challenges in fighting a global pandemic in cities where disease can spread through crowded transit systems, shopping centres and workplaces, but it seems self-evident that encouraging people to work at home, if possible, is the most obvious measure that can reduce the transmission of COVID-19 Homeworking has quickly become the 'new normal' for those able to work remotely, with only 'frontline' workers encouraged to travel to work Here, Hubbard et al explore how people are adapting to this 'brave new world'

The potential long-run effects of the pandemic on urban life have already brought forward a range of debates and occasionally contradictory predictions--but what is clear is that the current situation affords us an opportunity to reflect on how we think about neighborhoods as urban planning professionals and academics Neighborhoods are central to urban life, and in an ever-urbanizing world are only likely to become more important If anything has changed, it is that we are now acutely aware of our local surroundings--brick and mortar, stranger and friend--the streets we encounter in the daily escapes from the four walls of our homes Here, Wargent and Talen identify a number of issues concerning the nature of neighborhoods that may generate more interest once restrictions on movement are relaxed

Moawad and Andres argue for the need to construct more inclusive community- and/or refugee-led responses, the better to link planned and unplanned health emergency responses This discussion rests upon the combination of two research projects: a scoping small-scale research project about the impact of the current COVID-19-related policies and strategies from March to May 2020 in refugees' ITSs, coupled with a research study looking at Syrian refugees' livelihoods in remote locations conducted between Oct 2019 and Feb 2020 The latter research includes 107 interviews with refugees and 58 interviews with representatives from national governments, non-academic and academic experts, host community members, INGOs and non-governmental organisations (NGOs)

Anupam Nanda, Sotirios Thanos, E. Valtonen, Yishuang Xu, R. Zandieh
Nan et al discuss the COVID-19 implications for housing The COVID-19 pandemic has made "home" an absolute focal point of people's lives The socio-economic upheaval experienced so far is unlikely to end soon, and more complex and possibly much more severe socio-economic impacts might follow as the COVID-19 repercussions travel through the ramified world with layers of economic (national and local) and institutional structures Much will depend on how local and national governments attempt to intervene at various territorial scales over time
