Praxis in the Time of Covid-19
A Collective Effort
Draft: April 22, 2020This open access reading list is a result of the collective effort of PhD and Masters students inthe Urban Planning program at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservationat Columbia University. The aim of the list is to provide a collection of materials that address thepandemic as it relates to urbanism, urban planning, architecture, and the built environment. Thematerial presented here is being collected, organized and summarized over the months ofMarch and April 2020 as we witnessed our lives transformed by the COVID 19 crisis, especiallyin New York City, a city many of us call home and a place that has become one of the mainhotspots for the spread of the infectious disease that so far has killed more than 15,000 people(as of April 22). Our hope that this list will be useful in bringing together -in one document-materials that students and scholars will find useful to think about the pandemic as it relates tourbanization. We also hope that this document will become a “living document” that people cantake the liberty to update with relevant entries in the spirit of providing a collective resource forpeople across the globe interested in the implications of COVID-19 for our built environment(instructions to add entries are at the bottom of the document).
