In these uncertain times, one thing is certain - transportation is more important than ever. Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, and its spread across the globe, density and public transit have been blamed as unsafe and a factor in the spread of coronavirus. What's the future of density, housing and transit during—and post—COVID-19? The pandemic is illuminating what we already know - density in and of itself isn’t what makes communities vulnerable, it's the kind of density and the way it impacts how people live. As Massachusetts looks toward opening parts of the economy in the coming weeks and months, we need to focus on what will make our communities healthy and prosperous now and in the future. This panel explores examples of dense urban areas nationally that are successfully fighting the pandemic. They discusses lessons learned that can influence better infrastructure policies at the state and federal level, and they cover how the COVID-19 pandemic recovery plan will need to address the pre-existing housing crisis.
