Cities
"A good city is like a good party – people stay longer than really necessary because they are enjoying themselves" - Jan Gehl
People
"If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace". - Franklin D. Roosevelt
Places
City is a place. It is also a collection of places. "A large part of what distinguishes place from space is that place has an intensity that connects sociality to spaciality in everyday life. We can say 'do you have enough space? but not 'do you have enough place? while a space may have physical dimensions, it is intensity that gives place its potency and its primacy". - Kim Dovey in 'Becoming Places'.

THEME
The core measures against Covid 19; known as ‘social distancing’ wearing masks’ and ‘staying at home’ have meant that cities are deserted. Even if people arrive there, they keep to individuals, fearful of coming and sitting together, shaking hands, or even smiling with each other. Masks have transformed people into zombies. It is ironical that families drive in their own cars wearing masks.
