The latest edition of the Journal of Urban Design and Mental Health was published in October 2020, and the theme was COVID City. Don't miss the fascinating pieces exploring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on urban planning and design around the world - and how this in turn has affected people's mental health.

This Edition also includes seven new case studies from Adelaide (Australia), Ankara (Turkey), Delhi (India), George Town (Malaysia), Montreal and Toronto (Canada), and Washington, DC (USA). We continue to seek insights from all cities, and from South America and Africa in particular, so if you're interested, please get in touch.
