We will take the city of Yerevan as our case study and will mathematically model and simulate the spread of the coronavirus in the city, looking at how urban mobility patterns affect the spread of the disease. Effective, efficient, and sustainable urban mobility is of crucial importance for the functioning of modern cities. It has been shown to directly affect livability and economic output (GDP) of cities.
