Thanks to Kate Stockings for the tipoff to the York Festival of Ideas which went online this year.A few talks of note:
Roadmap to Recovery: York in a post-Covid world

Post Covid-19: Building a better society

Creating a Post Covid-19 Neighbourhood - some useful Geog related ideas here
https://youtu.be/tcP-lsN0rgs
Could be linked to an NEA - exploring changes in, or evidence of different forms of capital.
A session run by Yor Space - worth exploring more for their community housing initiatives.
One to develop perhaps as a new unit on Post Covid-19 neighbourhoods and designing communal spaces etc.

Also the work of Invisible Cities, who train (former) homeless people to be tour guides of the cities where they lived

Another area I’m going to think about developing when we return. It was founded in Scotland.
Here’s a ready made sustainable tourism case study, with reference to SDGs and it could well work with social distancing as the tourism industry reopens and many of us stay in UK cities rather than travelling abroad.
