Lessons from the lockdown

Ondertitel:foregrounding non-privileged perspectives into the (post-)COVID city debate

COVID-​ 19, as well as the measures set to stop the spread of the virus, strike urban life at its heart. Indeed, much of what makes urban life attractive thrives on the physical proximity of a diversity of people in densely populated built environments. It then comes as no surprise that the socio-​ spatial dynamics of this infectious disease have triggered a lively debate on the future of the city. In this chapter, by engaging with several voices in this public and academic debate, we focus on the question of whose city we are talking about when we refer to the post-​ COVID-​ 19 city, focusing on the highly (sub)urbanized Flemish region and Brussels in Belgium.
