Princeton SOA "Manual of Urban Distance" awarded COVID-19 research funding
Princeton University School of Architecture Professors Paul Lewis and Guy Nordenson have been awarded a research grant by the Princeton University Funding Program for Rapid Novel and Actionable COVID-19 Research Projects fund to help propel the duo's work on "Manual of Urban Distance: Strategies for Reconfiguring the City," a guide that investigates "the challenges of physical distancing in urban settings and [explores] strategies that minimize the effects of potential resurgences of COVID-19 and other future pandemics." According to the Princeton School of Architecture website, "Lewis and Nordenson's proposal focuses on the fact that distancing has been especially crucial in the dense urban environments of cities as the rate of infection in the world’s cities greatly outpaces that of suburban or rural areas. The density of the city, which has historically been considered its greatest asset, economically, socially and environmentally, is now precisely at odds with the realities of a...
