Urbanism in time of coronavirus.

Reflections on the present and future of Latin American cities

Abstract

The epidemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 co­ronavirus has undoubtedly created challenges both far our governments in trying to cope with the pandemic, and far the city dwellers in Latin America to cope day-to-day with iso­lation, in sorne cases total quarantine. Public spaces have been abandoned, branded as pos­sible transmission sites and changed far priva­te spaces, the houses, which in many cases do not have adequate conditions far confinement. The cities are by far, the places where hu­man beings have developed their lives, but perhaps their future is also determined by the pandemic, they must then innovate and chan­ge accordingly and Urbanism and Architecture must provide those solutions in the months to come.
