Impact of COVID19 on livelihoods, mobility and accessibility of marginalised groups
Funders Involved: BMBF/DLR-PT; NRF; FAPESP
This interdisciplinary project will explore and compare the impact of the COVID19 pandemic on the mobility, accessibility and livelihoods of marginalised groups in Cape Town (South Africa), Ruhr Area (Germany) and São Paulo (Brazil). The aim is to understand the changing roles of physical access for urban marginalised groups in pandemic times on their livelihood and the role of virtual access therein. This project will recommend measures toward equitable accessibility that support and improve the resilience of marginalised groups across the globe.
