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.
