How to Participate in Post-Pandemic Urban Resilience

Wolfe suggests strategies sensitive to local context and character based on his writing about cities. He envisions a post-pandemic world where cities are premised on a deep understanding of human needs and compassionate city planning.  He stresses the importance of co-creation and community involvement.

Ideas such as Place Healing, the Role of Photography, the Urban Diary, Urbanism Without Effort, and The Replacement Question stand behind this range of local actions and can foster teamwork, imagination, and receptivity to fresh, post-pandemic perspectives.

The practical application of these concepts faces the challenges of systemic inequality and environmental sustainability. Their effectiveness will depend on the active participation of diverse stakeholders, including government, businesses, and residents, in creating cities that are not only functional but also reflective of their inhabitants' collective input and aspirations.
