So far, 430 panelists and attendees have participated in five webinars as part of the COVID-19 Urban Thinkers Campus Series on urban vulnerabilities and the specific shelter, basic services and safety gaps during the pandemics.
Key messages and recommendations from panelists have been captured in stories posted on the WUC website and largely promoted on social medias:
