Has the global pandemic innovated the relationship between health and urban planning? To answer the question, the contribution investigates two salient episodes of modern town planning in England and Italy that show how hygiene and sanitation have guided the transformation of the city. It then analyzes two movements of the ’90s that develop the issue of health interpreting it as wellbeing. The third part explores the reactions of some cities to Covid-19. The conclusions highlight a framework in which continuity rather than innovation prevail.

La pandemia globale ha innovato la relazione tra salute e pianificazione urbana? Per rispondere al quesito, il saggio ripercorre due episodi salienti dell’urbanistica moderna in Inghilterra e Italia in cui l’igiene guidò la trasformazione della città. In seguito, analizza due movimenti degli anni ’90 che riprendono il tema inteso come benessere. Nella terza parte esplora le reazioni di alcune città al Covid-19. Le conclusioni discutono un quadro critico dove prevale la continuità piuttosto che l’innovazione.
