Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a complex debate on social and spatial inequalities, by publicly revealing and intensifying inequalities that were already there. As the pandemic unfolded, it became clear that there were higher levels of infection, hospitalisation and death especially in the older adults which were the most affected. But the higher risk of getting the virus due to being old was not the only problem they were facing. Older adults nowadays are marginalised from society, both on the outside and inside scales, being forced to go and spend the last years of their lives in pensions or asylums, which generates feelings of loneliness and isolation from society.
Outside meaning risks and problems that emerged for the elderly in the post pandemic city; while inside is related to the mental and spatial inequalities that old people suffer due to being isolated in their homes or pensions
