Adapting Urban Density in the Age of Pandemics

Wednesday, 06 May 2020 | Online Event

As the world contends with the rippling effects of COVID-19, key questions have arisen around the responsiveness of dense cities with respect to the current crisis, and their ability to adapt to similar occurrences in the future.

CTBUH hosts a virtual discussion among top experts to uncover how the city-building industry is addressing this unprecedented challenge. CTBUH Chairman, Steve Watts, Partner, alinea Consulting, leads a panel discussion on topics ranging from building operations, to fresh urban design responses and technological solutions – with a focus on multi-disciplinary collaboration and consensus-building.

CTBUH is donating the proceeds from this launch event in support of the World Heath Organization’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.
