Description

On October 8th 2020, Emergency Architecture & Human Rights (EAHR) in collaboration with Copenhagen Architecture Festival (CAFx) organizes the first international conference in Copenhagen on Pandemic Resilient Cities.

This conference is the second phase of a collaboration between EAHR, CAFx  and Think-Fast: a collective urban response to COVID-19. During May and  June 2020 we engaged together in a five talks, (https://cafx.dk/pandemic-resilient-cities/) where we brought experts from the built environment, the health and  humanitarian sectors into conversation to debate and answer questions  around the following topics:

- Disaster and Pandemics- Health Infrastructures
- Urban living: Density & Pandemics
- Human Rights & Contested cities

The current pandemic has pushed us to (re)think the future of our cities and how we can create resilient spaces for future threats. In a world with growing inequalities, crises not only create new obstacles, but deepens the existing gaps. As we have seen in the recent months, a pandemic does not only redefine the way we relate socially, but also the way we relate spatially.
COVID-19 has pushed the boundaries of the way we think our cities, from plazas to meeting locales, new restrictions and emerging needs have defied our previous understanding, finding us in many occasions unprepared for this scenario.
Feeling a common and shared responsibility on how we shape the future of our societies, we point to sharing further ideas and experiences to contribute to build the cities of tomorrow on new grounds. We are bringing together experts, professionals and academics to debate and learn how, by focusing on the possibilities triggered by the crisis, we can progress towards resilient, socially inclusive and green communities where equality, access and participation is ensured
to all.

We are looking forward to your participation! (Limited seats).

FAQ

  • I have not received my ticket via email. What should I do?

    The first thing to do is check your spam/junk filters and inboxes. Your tickets were sent as an attachment and can be thought of as spam by some email services. Alternatively, you can always find your tickets in your Billetto account that you can access in the browsers or the dedicated Billetto app. For more help with this, read here.

  • I wish to cancel my ticket and receive a refund. What should I do?

    The approval of refunds is entirely at the event organiser’s discretion, and you should get in contact with the event organiser to discuss what options are available to you. To get in touch with the event organiser, simply reply to your order confirmation email or use the "Contact organiser" form on the organiser's profile. For more help with this, read here.

  • Where do I find a link to an online event?

    Check your order confirmation page or order confirmation email.
