Docomomo International is pleased to present this year’s cycle of sessions of the Encontro de Urbanismo – “COVID 19 – Preparar as Cidades para Riscos Globais” [Urbanism Meeting – “COVID 19 – Preparing Cities for Global Risks”], coordinated by Prof. João Ferrão (Geographer, Institute of Social Sciences, University of Lisbon)  – will provide a comprehensive view on global systemic risks which become apparent through disruptive events such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

In view of these risks, and focusing on the immediate effects of the ongoing pandemic, it will be promoted a wide and informed debate in which citizens and specialists are invited to jointly build strategic recommendations for action in the short, medium and long term, covering a wide range of aspects and perspectives to better prepare the future of the city.
