Towards Neighbourhoods as Minimum Units of Resilience?

Abstract COVID-19 restrictions have changed the perception of space: travel limitations and diffusion remote activities narrowed spaces everyday life, leading to a rediscovery proximity. We are both witnessing re-appropriation domestic environment re-discovering neighbourhood those small portions city often neglected. This is evident in use nearby public transport, with decongestion many urban areas following reduction commuting. Even if this contingent situation, it reasonable think that part these changes will persist at end emergency. For reasons, there need focus on neighbourhoods’ quality, spatial organization adaptive capacity towards emergencies such as pandemic great challenges resilience sustainability. Essentially, sub-local scale must be rethought meet not only ordinary needs its inhabitants but also health or other issues. In sense, potential units based concepts proximity walkability explored, giving an interpretation starting from 15-min superilla models explore perspective “minimum resilience” for facing pandemics.
