About the Role
【This application has closed】
Cities are the central nodes of our modern economy; hubs of creativity and innovation. Our globalised system relies on us living collectively, but pandemics are inherently anti-city, as they could force the breakdown of collective cooperation. How will our cities evolve, to adapt to this new reality?
Cities across the world are establishing unique initiatives and projects to combat the effects of this situation; and by exploring each city’s approach, perhaps we can gain a glimpse of our post quarantine world.
Our aim is to collate around 50 articles from contributors around the world, to capture their thoughts and state of mind during the covid19 pandemic, covering urban quarantine culture, its side effects and philosophical ramifications, while touching on the situation in each country. This way we can form a holistic snapshot of the mind-state of residents in various cities across the world.
The project website is available (https://www.placy.city/post-quarantine-urbanism/)
If you are interested, send me a short bio of yourself from our inquiry section.
