    From changes in parks and streets to mutual aid and self-help, cities and communities have come up with innovative, though at times ad-hoc, design solutions to address urgent needs under the COVID-19 pandemic. In the face of profound social and disruptions, these solutions suggest the importance of design as a vehicle for collaboration and organizing that, in turn, contributing to greater resilience in the face of ever-more-frequent catastrophes.
