Urbanism Beyond 2020: Reflections During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Published by ORO Editions, San Francisco, USA, 2022

Urbanism Beyond 2020 explores numerous questions triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic: Why is city making a health project? How are ecological and human wellbeing interrelated? How can leadership and governance help bridge gaps in our unjust cities? How can we renew our relationship with dwellings and neighborhoods? How resilient and adaptable are our cities during uncertain times? Amidst climate change and global warming, is the pandemic a prelude to the challenges to come?

Going across nations and geo-political terrains, the essays in this volume span a wide range of topics ecology, wildlife, social justice, vernacular habitats, the water crisis, public space, urban density, informal economies, governance, religion, and urban art. They remind us why we live in an interconnected world, and why this pandemic is a crucial period to reexamine the impact of our cities on our planet’s future.
