Sidelining public life in Copenhagen

I have been lucky enough to observe how the city life of Copenhagen changed during the whole pandemic period from the beginning of the lockdown measures set in the second half of March towards the end of May. I say that I was lucky because from the first days of April I got a job as a food delivery bike courier for a food delivery company here in Copenhagen. Such work gathers enlarged risk to health, as you are exposed to public spaces and citizens on an hourly basis. But as an urbanist, I couldn’t be happier to be a part of this live experiment in the city of Copenhagen. Yes, in the earlier days of the lockdown and when the most strict measures were set in place, I sat on my bike and delivered food to people who were either self quarantining or might have been infected and were staying home as a safety measure. For the nearly 2 months of the pandemic in the Danish capital, I have traveled over 1000 km on my bike and met hundreds of people, whose lifestyle was completely changed in a few short months. <a href="https://medium.com/post-quarantine-urbanism/sidelining-public-life-in-copenhagen-8ee7b3c52ed5">Website</a>
