Abstract: This paper examines the spatial dimensions and socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. It highlights how the virus exploited economic integration and mobility, spreading rapidly in densely populated urban areas. The uneven impact on different populations and regions led to heightened interest in social science research. Factors such as population density, urbanisation and geographical variations were considered, along with the analysis of disease dynamics. The pandemic deepened geographical inequality, exacerbating disparities and vulnerabilities. The paper emphasises the need for region-specific policy responses and regional collaboration to manage the crisis effectively. Overall, it provides insights into the multifaceted challenges posed by the pandemic and highlights the importance of targeted policies.
