European Cities Normality Tracker – April 2021

Our European Cities Normality Tracker shows the extent to which cities across Europe are moving back towards ‘normality’ following the Covid-19 pandemic. It takes into account infection rates, evidence of mobility (whether
people are at their workplaces or visiting retailers), and what has happened to unemployment.
What you will learn from this report:
- UK cities move closer to normality as restrictions are gradually lifted.
- Situation in European cities still far from ‘normal’.
- Most French cities better than the European city average, but Paris is weaker.
