What are the implications of this pandemic for urban form, mobility, sociability, and politics?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent months, life in our cities has been radically transformed. The novel coronavirus pandemic has demanded cities\u2019 urgent responses to the acute pains brought about by this crisis. Yet at the same time, the pandemic has merely revealed and intensified cities\u2019 preexisting conditions of inequality, neglect, and discrimination&nbsp;\u2014&nbsp;and so too their capacities for mutuality, resilience, and care. While the urban experience of COVID-19 is necessarily occupied with basic survival in the present tense, it also invites critical reflection on what our cities are and more hopeful reimaginings of what they could be. In this spirit, this one-day online symposium brings together more than 50 academics, researchers, practitioners, and activists to share their thoughts on the emerging state of pandemic urbanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See the full schedule and register to attend at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/pandemicurbanism.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pandemicurbanism.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PANDEMIC URBANISMA virtual symposium on COVID-19 and citiesHosted by the University of WashingtonMay 29, 2020, 9a \u2013 5:30p PDT pandemicurbanism.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,3,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6090","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events","category-news","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6090","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6090"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6090\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6092,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6090\/revisions\/6092"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6090"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6090"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6090"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
