Abstract

This chapter delves into the profound impact of COVID-19 on New York City, the first major epicenter of the pandemic in the USA. It examines the initial response, including discrepancies between mayoral, state, and federal policies, which significantly influenced infection rates and deaths. The chapter also explores the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on low-income communities and communities of colour, exacerbating existing health and employment disparities. Innovative policy responses, such as the reallocation of street space for dining and recreation, are discussed alongside the broader consequences for housing, transportation, and public space. The chapter provides a detailed timeline of cases and deaths, highlighting the city's struggle to contain the virus and the long-term implications of the pandemic on NYC's infrastructure and social fabric.
