Global Dialogue: Cities after COVID-19 - the lessons that will shape better cities

Talk

Friday 24 July 2020
10:00 - 11:00

Bringing experts together from Europe and Asia, we will look at the changes now shaping our cities

Cities have been shaped by crises throughout history, from great fires to plagues and pandemics, dramatically altering the way we live. COVID-19 has challenged cities across the world and accelerated change – from rethinking mobility and city planning to increasing surveillance, ‘de-densification’ and new ideas for bringing communities together.

Bringing experts together from Europe and Asia, we will look at the changes now shaping our cities and the lessons we can take from this experience to rebuild flexible, resilient and sustainable cities.

The live video seminar, taking place simultaneously in Milan, Shenzhen and London, will begin promptly at 10:00 in London. This event forms a key part of the NLA City Dialogues programme, which brings together speakers and audiences to foster cross-city dialogue and learning between cities.
