The pandemic is an opportunity to build long-term societal and environmental resilience to weather against any disruption. As we move from rapid response to thoughtful recovery, we need to find solutions to newer problems of migrant workers, transportation and density-oriented cities. It is crucial to consider the long-term value creation of urban infrastructure, the resurgence of local and self-reliant craft-based communities and create a framework that promotes sustainable development and well-being.
