To take actions to minimize potential negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, investigating trends and drivers of population change in cities is essential. The project aims to find out if the pandemic triggered/accelerated trends of population loss in big cities? We have collected panel data and are now examining if the pandemic has triggered population loss in selected cities. We have also conducted a survey to understand appropriate planning measures that need to be taken to renew interest in urban life and avoid unsustainable patterns of suburbanization. Some of the study findings have been published in quality peer-reviewed journals.
