Abstract

To understand the COVID-19 outbreak and its socio-spatial nature, this book stemmed from the hypothesis that the concept of preparedness is an insightful one, worth to be (re)discussed within the urban and regional studies and, particularly the urban planning and policy field. This hypothesis did represent an open question rather than a consolidated view. This conclusive chapter recaps the main points made in the volume and outlines the definition of preparedness emerging from the chapters. Finally, it argues that preparedness shall not only be intended as an emergency technique to address unforeseeable changes but more broadly as a technology supporting a sustainable spatial and economic transition.
