Session3 「Tracking cities’ efforts for resilience in the COVID-19 era」

COVID-19 has revolutionized how we live every aspect of our lives. For instance, working from home brought us toward digitalism.
In addition, social distancing is the new norm in our society. The new normal is here to stay. The world after the coronavirus will be completely irreversible.

In light of such an impact, cities around the world will convene to share practices for fighting against COVID-19 and preparing for the post–COVID-19 era.
