Welcome to the 11th edition of our Speakers Series on Cities on the Frontline, analyzing how cities around the world are responding to Covid-19. This session explores how cities around the world could gradually lift some of the current lockdown restrictions while reducing human contact and keeping their citizens safe. We will have Robert Muir-Wood, Chief Research Officer, Risk Management Solutions (RMS) and Daniel Stander, Global Managing Director, Risk Management Solutions (RMS) who will share range of ideas and examples on pandemic risk management, for both the immediate future and longer term. They will be joined by Mahesh Harhare, Chief Resilience Officer, City of Pune, India to share Pune’s experience so far, and how data has helped the city moving forward. 
 
Cities in the Frontline is jointly organized by the Global Resilient Cities Network and the World Bank City Resilience Program. For access to the previous sessions’ materials, please see this page that is being updated regularly.
