While cities around the world are recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial to gain a thorough understanding of the social and spatial needs of underserved and marginalized groups in suburban places. Conventional suburbs in North America were designed to be segregated in land use and by socio-economic status, resulting in poor accommodation of the needs of diverse populations due to insufficient social and physical infrastructure. These challenges that already affect immigrants’ settlement, integration and social cohesion in the suburbs are being exacerbated by pandemic containment measures. Municipalities must adapt to the global health crisis and engage marginalised communities in future policy-making and design of public spaces that are vital to supporting health and well-being
