In view of the Sustainable Development Goal 11, for cities and human settlements to be made inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable, Chigbu and Onyebueke contribute ideas for mitigating the COVID-19 threat in slums They have structured the Viewpoint in line with its objectives First, they begin by unpacking the predominance of informal settlements in cities of the global South Second, they situate the CP incidence in informal settlements as a super-wicked problem Third, they state why (and how) urban planning matters, particularly in conjunction with public health, in the formidable effort to safeguard slums from pandemic threats in the short and long runs
