N2 - AbstractThis study explores social challenges and policy responses in EUcities in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It demonstratesthat the pandemic has placed additional pressures on vulnerablegroups and the institutions that work to support them. It findsthat the local policy capacity to respond to the crisis has differedacross cities and multi-level governance settings. Participatoryand integrated policy efforts have often failed to meet theexpectations of urban citizens and stakeholders. To movetowards urban resilience in times of crisis, EU-levelfunding needsto become more accessible and focused on long-termtransformations, as well as improving policy dialogue with thosecities most limited by ineffective local governance structures andhistorical legacies.
