The conference will take place fully online on May 17\, 2021\, UTC 00:00&ndash\;23:59. While only the \; most dedicated might be willing to join us for 24 hours\, we hope that everybody will have a \; chance to participate in the event for a while in accordance with your local time zone. In \; addition\, we would like to facilitate collaboration in our global community by organizing the \; event in a jointly manner. Since this event is organized by time zones\, it means that \; Johannesburg and Amsterdam will share the same conference time. Also\, we aim to create \; overlap in the time zones in this program so that it will cross continents\, so for instance London \; and New York will share a session. \; \;
\nWe will have one main video stream with lectures and panel discussion\, which will form the \; center stage and the backbone of the event. We will leave it to our co-hosts to add additional \; (hybrid) elements to the event. \;
\nTheme and scope \;
\nWe especially invite scholars to reflect on the role of the city in the current pandemic and how \; our relationships to cities may change in a Post-COVID situation. This may include but is \; certainly not limited to topics such as urban resilience\, architecture and public health\, and \; sustainable development in time of crisis. \;
\nBut the conference will also be open to non-Covid related research. We particularly encourage \; submissions from graduate students and early-career researchers. \;
\nPresentations should be approx. 20 minutes long. Q&\;A will be enabled via chat function or \; according to the moderator&rsquo\;s instructions. By default\, all presentations should be in English\, but we are open for variations.
