This Review of World Planning Practice (Volume 18), titled Towards Healthy Cities: Urban Governance, Planning and Design for Human Well-being, adds to the enormous debate on the role of cities and the phenomenon of urbanisation during the pandemic triggered by the coronavirus. The papers selected for this Review open up different perspectives, some utopian, as it should be when one talks about innovating and changing the city, and others more founded on paths tested in other urban phenomena, such as urban regeneration, the fight against social exclusion, the quest for sustainability, and the design of public spaces. -
