Pandemics and the built environment : a human-building interaction typology
(2023) In Buildings and Cities 4(1). p.158-173- Abstract
- Surveys of urban history from ancient times to the present reveal a continuum of collective responses to pandemics ranging from quarantine facilities and monitoring the spread of disease to building new wastewater networks. The contemporary COVID-19 pandemic includes new digital tools and techniques that supplement (and sometimes replace) the existing analogue responses, while raising new ethical issues with respect to privacy. A typology of pandemic responses in cities is created, based on human–building interaction (HBI) principles. This typology can be used to compare and contrast analogue and digital responses relating to distancing, monitoring and sanitising. It provides a summary of a wide range of individual and collective... (More)

In addition, the typology provides a tool to interpret some of the opportunities and drawbacks of digitalising cities. (Less)
