COVID-19: How City Life is Changing
In this online talk we will discuss how COVID-19 is making us rethink city life and urban policies.
Post-pandemic urban reality has disrupted many traditional urban dynamics, particularly those concerning our relationship with public spaces, forcing the addition of new health prevention protocols, and modifying their impact on social inclusion, leisure and recreation, and the economy of cities.
Against this backdrop, how can we rethink the public spaces in the city? Is it possible to redesign mobility patterns in these spaces? and how can we ensure their inclusiveness and rethink new uses and functions?
These are some questions that a group of experts will discuss live next Thursday, October 8.
