TITLE
Local
Governance and the COVID-19 Pandemic: impacts, challenges, responses
ORGANIZER & CHAIR
Carlos Nunes Silva (University of Lisbon, Portugal)
DESCRIPTION
The
International Geographical Union Commission on Geography of Governance aims to
advance knowledge of the geography of territorial governance, at the urban,
local and regional levels, namely the conditions, scale and characteristics of
new modes of territorial governance, in particular those that will emerge as a
result of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, and its social, cultural, political,
economic and environmental consequences.
The
session 'Local Governance and the COVID-19 Pandemic: impacts, challenges,
responses' aims to examine and discuss the impact of the pandemic on
central-local government relations and on local government policies, on public
services, housing, social services, mobility, and spatial planning. It will
discuss the actions taken by local government towards the COVID-19 pandemic,
and its outcomes and impacts, during the first and second waves of the
pandemic, as well as lessons for the future.
We
invite abstracts that concern various aspects of the role of local government
during the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts, as well abstracts focused on the
ongoing changes in local governance systems in this context, namely changes
associated with the use new digital technologies. We welcome abstracts of those
engaged in the activities of the IGU Commission on Geography of Governance, as
well as from anyone with a relevant contribution in this field.
We are
interested to discuss:
- What
strategies, plans, policy measures, and actions have been adopted by local
government to control and shape the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic locally and
what has been its impact on the effects of the pandemic?
- What
strategies, plans, policy measures, and actions have been adopted by local
government to tackle the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on health, on society
and on the local economy?
- What
strategies, plans, policy measures, and actions are local government employing
to distribute resources and care among local populations, what cooperation with
local community action networks and citizen initiatives during the pandemic?
- What
changes have been introduced in central-local relations (decentralization /
re-centralization), what innovations in multi-level governance have been tried
to tackle more effectively the COVID-19 pandemic, what has been the role of
inter-municipal cooperation and metropolitan government in this context, and
what is being done through cross-border municipal and regional cooperation
during the pandemic?
- What
has been the role of technologies in local mobility, on remote work and
education, and on surveillance through tracking and tracing the COVID-19 in
urban areas?
- What
local government strategies, policy measures, planning scenarios, and actions
are being designed for the post COVID-19 crisis, namely towards building
resilient, smart communities?
This
session is associated with the Action Plan developed by the IGU Commission on
Geography of Governance - 'IGU-CGoG COVID-19 Action Plan' (for more
