The Institute of Place Management commissioned me to write a course on the issues around the Covid-19 pandemic and it's impact on the High Street. We launched the course in May 2020 for members of the IPM. Prof. Still is a Fellow of the Institue of Place Management and currently working with the High Street Task Force as a mentor.
Aims and objectives The aim of this course is to provide a set of risk analysis methods for the evolving problems of the Covid-19 pandemic. The objective is to facilitate practical risk and safety information. As the situation evolves, we will update the users with information from around the world.
1. Key information about Covid-19 In this section, we introduce the course and the main speaker. Over the last few months, the world has changed dramatically. With the majority of the western world "staying at home". This has caused a worldwide business to shut down and a significant reduction to high street footfall. The Institue of Place Management is working on a variety of issues related to exit strategies and restart. The primary objective for a re-start is public safety. For that, we need a new set of rules for risk assessment, awareness and how to adapt places to the emerging society following the global pandemic.
2. Understanding the risks In this section, we outline the impact on place management. Specifically, we focus on understanding the impact on your business/event and sector in the current pandemic. We provide an in-depth background to the key issues of understanding the data that underpins the basis for change.
