In times of crisis lies opportunity. Recovery shows us how we can build back better after COVID-19.

In crisis lies opportunity. Let's build back better.

Humanity has recovered from many crises in the past- war, depression, pandemic, natural disaster. Often, we've bounced back to create a better future. The Spanish flu was followed by the economic prosperity of the Roaring Twenties. After World War II, the German economy grew to become the world's most advanced. US social and economic policies responding to the Great Depression paved the way for twentieth-century prosperity.
As we emerge from the COVID-19 health and economic crisis, what can we learn from other recoveries? Through interviews with experts, policymakers and community leaders, Andrew Wear examines past recoveries, exploring what went well, what we should do differently and what the lessons might be for the recovery ahead of us.
With governments prepared to lead, listen to experts and involve communities in decision-making, not only is a successful recovery possible - we can also choose to reconsider things we thought were fixed. We have an opportunity to create a better future, so let's use it.

Claire
5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, optimistic look at how places recover after a crisis
Reviewed in Australia on 24 September 2023
This book outlines how cities and countries have recovered after a crisis. Examples include Christchurch after the earthquakes, New York City after the financial crisis and South Korea after the Korean War. It's incredibly well researched, but written in a chatty, accessible style. While it's obviously tackling the question of what comes after the COVID-19 pandemic, the insights it presents have a much broader relevance, applicable to a range of situations. It's a book that deals with some weighty topics, but it left me feeling optimistic about the possibilities inherent in the post-pandemic recovery.
