Post-pandemic and urban morphology Preliminary research perspectives about spatial impacts on public realm

Abstract

As Covid-19 evidence, urban density[*] proved to be a health risk factor, reclaiming the rethinking for higher sustainability The investigation on post pandemic strategies in the metropolitan cities of Milan and Rotterdam shows emergent modes of spatial re-appropriation towards better risk adaptiveness [*] «Density is really an enemy in a situation like this, with large population centers, where people are interacting with more people all the time, that’s where it’s going to spread the fastest » (Dr Steven Goodman, epidemiologist at Stanford University) Citation in: Brian M Rosenthal (March, 23, 2020) “Density Is New York City’s Big ‘Enemy’ in the Coronavirus Fight” on https://www nytimes com/2020/03/23/nyregion/coronavirus-nyc-crowdsdensity html (accessed 08 05 2020, 11:00 a m ) © 2020 Festival Architettura Edizioni All rights reserved
