Abstract

“COVID-19” had a major effect in major cities of India, leading to inequalities in urban areas and affecting livelihood, health, and economy. Around 45 % of Delhi’s street vendors and waste pickers reported high impacts on income and health; more than 37% of Mumbai’s business establishments experienced job cuts and shutdowns. Chennai is one of the worst affected regions, the mortality rates were high, especially in the geriatric population; Kolkata felt the strain in terms of anxiety and mental health, especially the womenfolk. The urban poor in Bengaluru were worst affected, many of the new infection cases reported came from this background. “COVID-19” revealed the existing weakness in the informal settlements and informal economy, which should draw the attention of policymakers to the principle of equity and inclusive urban governance and development. Measures to reduce the transmission rate were specific precautions geared toward public health campaigns, telemedicine platforms, and physical distancing. Nevertheless, these interventions are built considering the population’s socioeconomic status to indicate the need for strong public health systems and appropriate social protection throughout future shocks.
