'This is a brilliantly conceived, ground breaking collection that provides deep insight into the challenges that COVID poses to our world today.  By focusing on the physical environment, these studies of past pandemics demonstrate how critical it is to tend to both neglected infrastructure and vulnerable communities.  Epidemic Urbanism is an inspiring example of  interdisciplinary collaboration across diverse times and places and the contributions it brings to the work of global public health.'Nancy Tomes, Distinguished Professor, Stony Brook University, USA
