The Pandemic has collapsed all our usual Urban Design assumptions revealing that urban and rural populations globally are vulnerable in the new situation, even in modern, scientific, hygienic, planned cities like Wuhan, New York or Milan.
This lecture will ask what if the pandemic is a beginning of the true measure of the impact of the Anthropocene?
