A collaboration with with Emergency Architecture & Human Rights (EAHR), WHO and Think-Fast: A collective urban response to COVID-19.This talk focus on the spatial challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, with a particular focus on the notion of ‘density’, which is at the core of most of the current discussions between urban practitioners and researchers: housing density and minimum standards, <highlight>urban density</highlight> and the risks within overcrowded refugee camps and informal settlements, social distancing and access to public space, etc.We want to know, first of all, if density deserves the given relevance regarding cities and the spread of viruses and other diseases, and how density interacts with other variables, such as socio-spatial segregation, housing construction standards, multiple layers of spatial and socio-economic vulnerability, etc.

ABOUT PANDEMIC RESILIENT CITIES TALKS
The series of talks will focus on the role and position of Architects and Planning Practitioners in preparing for Pandemic Resilient Cities where basics such as access to safe housing, space, clean air, food and water is not considered a privilege but a basic Human Right.

While everyone will be affected by the challenges emerging from the current crisis, the impact is hitting hard on the most vulnerable ones: the elderly population, migrants, displaced populations, slum dwellers and the so-called ‘low-skilled’ workforce, who rely solely on their everyday income. However, these vulnerabilities aren’t new and were not merely caused by the Pandemic, but gradually accumulated by multiple political, economic, social and spatial factors, that reduced our preparedness for such a scenario and left Millions of people vulnerable to health crises and disasters.

Det er vores pligt som arkitekter at bygge bro mellem kunsten og videnskaben
Men politisk skal der skabes et rum, hvor der er plads til idégenerering, eksperimentering og kreativitet.
