Q&A

How Might the COVID-19 Change

Architecture and Urban Design?
05.07.2020

By Michael J. Crosbie

n the wake of the global pandemic crisis, there’s been speculation

I about how architecture, urban planning, and design might be

permanently affected. Ashraf M. Salama, a professor at the
Department of Architecture, University of Strathclyde, in Glasgow,
Scotland, and the director of the university’s Cluster for Research in
Architecture and Urbanism of Cities in the Global South, has been following
how these disciplines might be changing. He’s recently written a publicly peer-
reviewed paper on some of his findings: “Coronavirus Questions That Will Not
Go Away: Interrogating Urban and Socio-Spatial Implications of COVID-19
Measures.” I sat down with Salama to discuss some of the issues he raises, and
what their implications might be for the built environment in the future.
