Inoculating Cities: Case Studies of the Urban Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic uses detailed case studies to document and describe how cities located in high-, middle-, and low-income countries responded to the COVID-19 pandemic. City governments and municipal authorities exist and operate in varied contexts (i.e., socioeconomic, demographic, legal, and governance) and intentionally documenting the varied experiences in these different contexts-and the strategies used to respond to the pandemic-can guide decision-makers as they prepare for and respond to future infectious disease outbreaks.
