The COVID-19 crisis is transforming the way we use the public realm. Access to and use of open space, commerce, and the public right of way have all changed rapidly. The question is now: will things ever return to the way they were? Do we want them to?
In this virtual forum, we will hear from experts in development, mobility, and open space about how we can leverage this crisis to enhance our cities in the long term. We will also learn from what Copenhagen has been doing to adapt to the new world and continue to support a vibrant quality of life. Join us for this interactive webinar in which we’ll ask you what you want to see in your city and offer data and solutions from what is working locally and in other parts of the world.
