Urban Farm DB summary

This chapter reviews Brazilian urban planning responses to COVID-19, connecting concepts of healthy cities, reviews of Brazilian legal frameworks, international documents, and case records to argue that articulation and cooperation among cities were essential to minimizing pandemic impacts. It presents active mobility initiatives, reframed public space use, and the implementation of urban community gardens as practical examples with immediate results during the pandemic, without reporting original quantitative data.
