Urban vs Rural Impacts of COVID-19
- Please listen to another episode of COVID conversations, this time with experts in city and regional planning at https://soundcloud.com/user-388925195/urban-pandemic-why-have-cities-had-such-different-experiences (Links to an external site.).
- Then read the CIM position paper, “Rural Women, Agriculture and Sustainable Development in the Americas in the Context of COVID-19 at http://www.oas.org/en/cim/docs/DocumentoPosicion-MujeresRurales-FINAL-EN.pdf (Links to an external site.)
Each piece provides a variety of policy solutions, some which have not been made into law or implemented, and others that have been successfully implemented. Consider where you live now, or any place where you have lived in the past. Would the recommendations for cities or rural areas apply as COVID solutions to the city or rural area you have in mind? Why or why not?
