On April 13, join us for an evening discussion with Dr. Jeremy Lim on how Singapore is adapting public space and housing in response to Covid-19.
While New York City works to contain the spread of coronavirus, the Urban Design Forum is developing a discussion series interrogating how the pandemic will impact urban systems and society. For our second discussion, we are welcoming public health expert Dr. Jeremy Lim with the support of the Centre for Liveable Cities (CLC) in Singapore.
Learning from extensive epidemic response preparations made in the wake of the 2003 SARS outbreak, Singapore has aggressively responded to the novel coronavirus since the beginning of this year. The city has kept infection rates low through contact tracing technologies and comprehensive quarantine regulations that have repurposed hotels and dormitories to isolate affected populations. The Urban Design Forum’s Executive Director Daniel McPhee will join Jeremy to discuss: How is Singapore providing safe housing and reimagining public space for residents during the public health crisis?
This video discussion will take place at 8:00pm EDT. Login details for Zoom will be emailed to registrants in advance of the conversation.
