As governments around the globe navigate the effects of COVID-19 crisis, the urban poor endure the unevenly distributed socio-economic impacts of the pandemic. This burden is more pronounced in Global South megacities, where millions of people engage in precarious informal employment. We examine how the urban poor in Delhi (India), Dhaka (Bangladesh), and Manila (Philippines) have been disproportionately affected by the crisis. A cross-case analysis was undertaken to determine how the realities and relations of one context can enrich our understanding of the other. We argue that the current COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the unequal urban citizenship in these three metropolises. Drawing on research reports, news articles, and interviews with urban poor leaders, we explain how limited government assistance has forced some to retreat to their rural hometowns or rely on self-help and mutual aid practices to survive. We consider the patterns both in governments’ treatment of impoverished citizens and in the unjust effects of lockdown enforcement on marginalised populations. We also discuss the roles that women and non-government organisations (NGOs) have played in facilitating solidarity-based practices to help urban poor communities cope with COVID-19 vulnerabilities.

不平等加剧，分歧加深：COVID-19 时代的城市公民
随着全球各国政府应对 COVID-19 危机的影响，城市贫民忍受着大流行带来的分布不均的社会经济影响。这种负担在全球南方特大城市更为明显，那里有数百万人从事不稳定的非正规就业。我们研究了德里（印度）、达卡（孟加拉国）和马尼拉（菲律宾）的城市贫民如何受到危机的不成比例影响。进行了跨案例分析，以确定一个环境的现实和关系如何丰富我们对另一个环境的理解。我们认为，当前的 COVID-19 大流行暴露了这三个大都市中不平等的城市公民身份。借鉴研究报告、新闻文章和对城市贫困领袖的采访，我们解释了有限的政府援助如何迫使一些人退居农村或依靠自助和互助方式生存。我们考虑了政府对待贫困公民的模式以及封锁执法对边缘化人群的不公正影响。我们还讨论了妇女和非政府组织 (NGO) 在促进基于团结的实践以帮助城市贫困社区应对 COVID-19 脆弱性方面所发挥的作用。
