3 weeks ago @4cities_eu students saw their universities closed overnight. They decided to dedicate their quarantine to collecting and spreading lockdown stories from across the world: how do we experience living in our cities under #COVID19? Find it out on @spreadstories
Explore the nearly 100 stories on our platform through our interactive map on #spreadstoriesnotthevirus. Click and drag our map and discover how #COVID19 is experienced by citizens from New York to Shanghai. Check out our map and our #lockdown stories:

As part of the fieldwork conducted for “Urbanism and Architecture” course, Claire Griffith and @vivisrock from #Cohort12 share their individual analysis on the users, producers and features in three parks in #Copenhagen. Read both stories here ⬇️

Amazing news from Vienna! Last year, our students worked on a project with @floloeco to transform a street next to their university building of @univienna into a public square: 4cities.eu/ich-liebe-liebigg… #kommraus #publicspace
This summer, a 7-lane street section in #Vienna will become a #publicspace for "urban holidays" with swimming pool, culinary & cultural program and a #laboratory to discuss the future of two districts now divided by an urban highway.
