Diseases can shape and shift cities. What mark will the coronavirus leave in its wake? What twists and turns will we take? Will COVID-19 gouge ugly pockmarks deep into our urban landscapes? Like, will people be too afraid to go to public parks or use public transit, scarred for life with visions of spikey-ball germs dancing in their heads? Or will the exact opposite totally happen? There’s reason to be optimistic. In a new episode of KPBS' pop-up podcast series about how we’re all keeping connected through COVID-19 isolation, a story about Ian Patzke, a San Diego architectural photographer who’s creating community by leading online conversations with local urbanists, architects, designers and others who’ve shaped our city. Plus, former San Diego city planner Bill Fulton gives us some context and thoughts about how disease has shaped cities in the past and how it might shape cities in the future.
