Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused immense suffering and misery. However, at the same time, it has created new possibilities for rethinking the kind of society that we want to create in the future. This article adopts an international perspective and explains how cities and communities across the world have responded to the public health emergency with kindness, compassion and inventiveness. A new political window of opportunity is opening up, one that suggests we can prioritise caring for people and the planet in the period ahead. Practical ways of doing this are outlined.
