Colin McFarlane, abstract for the keynote: The Covid-19 pandemic has prompted a public debate on density and crowds in the city. While some initially blamed density for the spread of the virus, others cautioned against those claims. As the pandemic progressed, an imaginary of density-as-pathology gave way to a more nuanced geographical understanding of the urban dimensions of the crisis, focussed on connections, spatial conditions, domestic ‘overcrowding,’ and poverty, as well as concerns around different kinds of crowding. In this presentation, I reflect on the politics of density, and the crowd in particular, in the context of UK cities, and consider some of the possible longer-term consequences.
