Density and the Spread of COVID-19 in Cities: Lessons from the United States and the United Kingdom
European cities after COVID-19: Strategies for resilient cities and real estate, 2022•Springer
In this chapter, we discuss how population density, the defining feature of cities, shaped the
evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic by taking a look at cities in the United States and the
United Kingdom. In both countries the spatial distribution of case deaths was similar. Large
and dense global cities such as London or New York were hit first by COVID-19. But as the
epidemics unfolded, the relationship between density and accumulated COVID-19-related
deaths progressively flattened out to the point of disappearing almost completely by the end …

Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss how population density, the defining feature of cities, shaped the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic by taking a look at cities in the United States and the United Kingdom. In both countries the spatial distribution of case deaths was similar. Large and dense global cities such as London or New York were hit first by COVID-19. But as the epidemics unfolded, the relationship between density and accumulated COVID-19-related deaths progressively flattened out to the point of disappearing almost completely by the end of the year. The findings illustrated here cast doubts on the widely held notion that COVID-19-related health risks were higher in dense cities throughout 2020.
