At the Columbia Global Centers webinar on Emergency Urbanism we talked about earthquakes, pandemic and urban resilience.

The Emergency Urbanism and Preventive Infrastructure webinar explores how cities have responded to environmental disasters and disease outbreaks and investigate the interventions required to mitigate the effects of such emergencies. The panelists will provide insight into the preventive systems that are installed, required, and used in emergency anticipation and response.
