COVID-19 continues to hit our urban areas hardest, what makes our cities attractive also makes them most vulnerable to the virus.
Mass transit, the concentration of people and capital, and planned density all aid in the spread of the virus. In a rush to interpret an uncertain future, some theorists have suggested 70-years of rapid global urbanization might be over. But has the death of cities been greatly exaggerated?
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the University of Waterloo is taking steps to limit the spread and risks of the disease in our community. With caution and concern for our alumni, we have made the difficult decision to move Alumni Weekend and Alumni Black and Gold Day events online.
The Interdisciplinary Centre on Climate Change (IC3) in partnership with the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences is pleased to invite you to our upcoming webinar "Global climate connections: How changes to our environment, food systems, and health will shape our future".
