COVID-19, Brussels — June 4, 2021 [COVID-19 🇧🇪] Challenges, responses and solidarity in Brussels We are increasingly aware of how the global COVID-19 pandemic crisis unveiled pre-existing unequal conditions, and how it affected individuals, families and communities in significantly different ways depending on their place and socioeconomic conditions. But what does this really mean? How did the people cope with the impacts imposed by COVID-19 mitigation policies? What lessons can we draw from this period? Seven URBiNAT cities - Sofia, Nantes, Porto, Brussels, Siena, Høje-Taastrup and Nova Gorica - give us a picture of some aspects related to the repercussions, challenges, responses and alternatives that emerged with the pandemic.
