ECIPE Webinar: Globalisation and Urbanisation in the Age of Covid-19 – Are they Dying?

July 15 2020
Venue: ZOOM Webinar
Speakers: Charlotta Mellander, Shanker Singham, Erik van der Marel, Fredrik Erixon
Time: 14:00

How will Globalisation and Urbanization be affected by the pandemic and its economic fallout?

Economic development in the past decades has been driven substantially by the two forces of globalisation and urbanization. Will these forces survive the pandemic and its economic fallout?

Some observers claim that fewer people will want to live in cities because crowded environments are hotbeds for infections, or that globalisation will be strangled by all new tariffs ushered in by governments to protect jobs. On the other hand, it’s difficult to envision exactly how cities and globalisation would lose their economic attractiveness – especially in light of continued technological change and the speed of diffusion of new knowledge.

Join us for a discussion on the future of Urbanization and Globalisation:

  • May the pandemic actually prompt urbanization and globalisation to become stronger?
  • What can governments do to support them?
