Reassembling the pandemic city: shifting geographies of creative work

该项目旨在解决COVID-19对城市中心经济区域造成破坏的关键知识缺口。它将纵向记录和分析这些地区大流行后的重组情况，重点关注一个先锋部门——受大流行打击严重但对城市经济复苏规划至关重要的创造性工作。创造性工作的空间民族志将揭示空间利用、工作实践、经济多样化、网络和实地适应的变化。该项目将为城市中心的重新配置和跨大都市空间的创意产业网络提供重要的新实用知识。其好处将包括为城市政策提供重要见解，以支持有韧性和包容性的复苏。

This project aims to address the critical knowledge gap around COVID-19 disruptions to city centre economic geographies. It will longitudinally document and analyse post-pandemic reassembling of these geographies, focused on a bellwether sector—creative work—hard hit by the pandemic yet central to urban economic recovery planning. Spatial ethnographies of creative work will reveal shifts in space use, work practices, economic diversification, networks, and on-the-ground adaptations. The project will generate essential new practical knowledge of city centre reconfigurations and networks of creative industries across metropolitan spaces. Its benefits will include vital insights for urban policy to support resilient and inclusive recovery.
