Coping with the Pandemic in Fragile Cities 2022 Original pdf

This book explores the effects of covid-19 crisis on cities and urban areas

and proposes approaches and solutions to invert the pandemic’s negative

impact. The covid-19 crisis has had significant impacts on public health, on
the everyday lives of millions of people, and on the use of urban spaces at
all levels. All over the world, cities have been at the forefront of a crisis
that have worsened socio-spatial inequalities between regions and inside
urban areas. The book examines three aspects of the connection between
pandemic and urban issues: the relevance of spatial and territorial
variables in the explanation of pandemic dynamics and consequences in
fragile cities; the assumption of radical uncertainty as the conceptual
framework for a new approach to urban planning, in a phase of raise of
public investments; and the design of urban policies aimed at facing the
material and symbolic effects of pandemic on the practices of use of spaces
and places, in a context characterized by a plurality of populations and
forms of life.
