Abstract(s)
Durante a história das cidades, seu desenho já foi causa e consequência de epidemias e
pandemias, como nos casos da Peste Negra (Séc. XIV-XVIII), Cólera (a partir de 1855) e
Gripe Espanhola (1918-1919). Causando preocupações de saúde pública e impulsionando
mudanças no desenho e vivência das cidades. Certas vezes, levando a soluções sanitaristas
que acabaram por agravar situações de desigualdades urbanas que reverberam nas
cidades contemporâneas.
Com a COVID-19, doença reportada pela primeira vez em dezembro de 2019 e
caracterizada pela OMS como pandemia em março de 2020, ressurgiram preocupações de
saúde pública em todo mundo. Foram evidenciados uma série de problemas no contexto
urbano que afetam a qualidade de vida nas cidades. E muitas alterações, mesmo que
momentâneas, foram realizadas na arquitetura e no desenho urbano. Surge então a
questão de como a arquitetura e o urbanismo podem contribuir para uma vida mais
saudável e de maior qualidade em geral de sua população, sem causar os mesmos danos
do passado.
Assim, a pandemia serviu de alerta para necessidade do desenho de cidades mais
resilientes, sustentáveis e saudáveis. Para que no futuro, novos surtos de doenças
contagiosas ou desastres naturais, já previstos, não resultem em choques tão
devastadores.
Throughout the history of cities, their design has been cause and consequence of epidemics and pandemics, as seen with Black Death (Sec. XIV-XVIII), Cholera (since 1855) and the Spanish Flu (1918-1919). Causing public health concerns and leading to alterations in the city’s design and the way it is inhabited. Sometimes that lead to sanitarist designs that worsen urban inequalities. With COVID-19, disease first reported in December 2019 and categorized as Pandemic by WHO in March 2020, those public health concerns resurfaced around the world. Various urban problems that affect the quality of life in cities were revealed. That raises the question of how architecture and urbanism can contribute to a healthier life and improve the quality of life, without causing the same damages of the past. The pandemic has therefore served as a wake-up call for the need to design more resilient, sustainable and healthy cities. So that in the future, new outbreaks of contagious diseases or natural disasters, which have already been predicted, don't result in such devastating shocks.
