Day 3. 2a International responses to a green Covid recovery

Summary

Romy gives us an overview of the insight that Vestre has gained during the
last 9 months into the Covid-19 response across Scandinavia, the UK, the USA
and Germany. The session will explore the similarities and differences in the
countries’ approach to the pandemic and its impact on the public realm. It will
also cover Vestre’s learnings about the re-distribution of streets and public
space will be presented. The session will cover several aspects of sustainable
recovery – the environmental (including greening cities to improve air quality); the
economic (reviving areas that have been severely impacted by Covid-19); and
social (ensuring previous societal inequalities are not worsened post-Covid).
