Planning: Planning for the post-COVID Healthy City
Cities are one of the most complex phenomena in the universe, the home to the majority of humanity and the drivers of innovation and national economies. The success of cities is not guaranteed – they need coordinated investment and anticipation of future risks, provided by the planning profession. One of the most important duties of planners is to keep city dwellers healthy; this has evolved from ensuring clean water supply and overcrowding in the early industrial era to contemporary health challenges of stemming from obesity, poor air quality and more recently the re-emergence of devastating contagious disease, COVID-19. This talk will explore how we should expect cities to respond to this crisis, and how we can use it as an opportunity to address some of the pre-existing health issues of the 21st Century city.
