Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book focuses on the socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns on the welfare of the urban poor in the city of Harare, Zimbabwe. The authors look through the lenses of the urban health penalty, the right to the city, complexity theory, and distributive justice theory. These four theories help situate the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on the urban poor in the theoretical foundations that raise issues of how the poor are affected by disease/health pandemics, due to their living conditions. Uniquely, the authors use remote ethnography tools such as rich texts, video diaries and photo uploads to provide evidence-based stories of how COVID-19 mobility restrictions have affected poor urbanites in Harare.The book concludes that the COVID-19 pandemic mandatory lockdowns have deepened social and spatial inequality among the urban poor, threatening their right to the city. The socio-economic impacts can upsurge poverty, increase unemployment and the risks of hunger and food insecurity, reinforce existing inequalities, and break social harmony in the cities, even past the COVID-19 pandemic period. These socioeconomic impacts must be considered to make just cities for all, from a right-to-the-city perspective. The authors recommend that mandatory COVID-19 lockdowns should not only be treated as a law-and-order operation but as a medical intervention to stem the spread of the virus backed by measures to safeguard the livelihoods of the urban poor while also protecting the economy. This means governments should provide social safety nets to informal sector operators whose income-generating activities are affected the most during the time of emergencies like COVID-19. Planners and policymakers should re-envision pandemic-resilient cities that are just, equitable, resilient, and sustainable.…

Hardback. Condition: New. This book examines how economic resilience and sustainable development can be achieved within Southern African cities through the integration of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) into urban planning. It combats the challenges poised by rapid urbanisation, something that it exacerbated by climate change and weak infrastructure, through economic policy and practice that addresses the unique social, political, and environmental conditions found within the region. Evidence-based and empirical case studies are presented to highlight real-world successes and offer tangible solutions. Particular focus is given to land management within developing cities, infrastructure planning for resilience, climate change adaptation, institutional development, and community engagement.This book presents a multidisciplinary framework to navigate Southern African cities through uncertainty and towards sustainable development. It will be relevant to students, researchers, and policymakers interested in development, African studies, and urban economics.…
