Home office, undertourism, online shopping - the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic have changed how we engage with our cities. Is the dense urban center already a thing of the past, an object of nostalgia? How can cities cope with the inevitable states of emergency we'll encounter because of climate change?
In their new book

Mariana Mogilevich, the Editor in Chief of
Urban Omnibus and author of
The Invention of Public Space (2021).
