The social distance dictated by the COVID-19 public health emergency has created a range of impacts on different levels. While global lockdown is challenging world leaders with a destabilizing economy, at the human level the pandemic is affecting access to public space, generating isolation and loneliness, helplessness and fear. The talk is related to an initiative of the School of Architecture at CUHK in partnership with the Journal of Public Space and a number of international scholars, reflecting on COVID-19’s different impacts on public space as well as people’s health and wellbeing.
