COVID 19 URBAN INNOVATIONS INVENTORY - a selection of good practices from around the world

 UN-Habitat's Innovation Unit has developed an Inventory of urban innovations emerging during COVID 19 in cities around the world. The aim of the inventory is to provide interesting innovation initiatives according to relevant themes for ustainable urbanization. The inventory also provides insights into the future planning and development challenges and opportunities facing cities and as such, has a broader use for some colleagues as they think through the implications of COVID 19 on their work. The inventory is by no means exhaustive and relies heavily on media based content. Where possible, primary sources of information have been included. Please feel free to contact UN-Habitat's Innovation Unit on any urban innovation that you think can contribute to this inventory at unhabitat-innovation@un.org
