Abstract

The effects of the transformations that have been experienced during the Covid-19 global crisis have the potential to endure beyond the frame of the pandemic. This could become a time when a new world order, which emerges out of this crisis, oscillates between socialism and authoritarianism. Meanwhile, cities are the first ground where transformations caused by a crisis find places to manifest. Pandemics, economic recessions, terrorist attacks, and other crises, all leave their traces on the socio-spatial organization of cities and related urban experiences. In this context, this study conducts a critical review of existing conflicting possibilities, where each has the potential to produce changes in urban space and to affect the ways urban space is experienced. The article critically reviews these concepts via the two major interlinked types of non-pharmaceutical mitigation strategies against the pandemic within urban contexts: first, those that restrict movement and interaction, and second, those that concern digital space. The review shows the potential for two alternatives, oscillating between new forms of authoritarianism and social solidarity around the world.
2019冠状病毒病:放大已有的城市问题
在2019冠状病毒病全球危机期间所经历的变革的影响有可能在大流行期间持续下去。从这次危机中产生的新的世界秩序可能会在社会主义和威权主义之间摇摆。与此同时,城市是危机引发的变革的第一个场所。流行病、经济衰退、恐怖袭击和其他危机都在城市的社会空间组织和相关的城市经验上留下了痕迹。在此背景下,本研究对现有的冲突可能性进行了批判性审查,其中每一种可能性都有可能产生城市空间的变化并影响城市空间的体验方式。本文通过城市背景下两种主要的相互关联的非药物缓解战略对这些概念进行了批判性审查:第一种是限制移动和互动的战略,第二种是涉及数字空间的战略。这份报告显示了两种选择的可能性,即在世界各地的新形式的威权主义和社会团结之间摇摆。
