The Lively Cities: Panel Discussion
Event Date: Jun 19, 2020; Event City: Over the past four months we have seen an emptying of public spaces around the world in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, over the past few weeks, in response to the killing of George Floyd and other acts of racial injustice and police brutality, public protests have taken place in cities across the United States. As “stay at home” orders lift in many areas of the country—including the St. Louis region—and civic demonstrations continue, people are returning to the streets, and to commercial and public spaces. We are seeing public life reshaped as a negotiation between public health concerns and urgency of the public voice. Join us for The Lively Cities webinar, an online panel discussion exploring how social distancing practices in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are challenging our conceptions of urbanity, leading us to question how we share public spaces as social infrastructure and what “future normality” will look like as restrictions lift and we regain a more active city life. The event will be livestreamed through the Sam Fox School Facebook page at 12p Central on June 19; a recording will also be made available. Read the full post on Bustler
