This paper aims to initiate reflections on what an antifragile (Taleb, Anti-fragile. Things that gain from disorder. Penguin Books, London 2012) built environment might look like by furthering the debate on dynamic non-equilibrium resilience, specifically in terms of scale, urban morphology and social life in urban areas. It will do so by presenting a critical review of relevant literature on resilience in the built environment and linking it to what we know so far about the physical (i.e. geographical, morphological and so on) and socio-cultural conditions that have likely limited the spread of COVID-19 while maintaining quality in urban space in early 2020. As the current pandemic is sharpening our understanding of both the link between local and global action and the power encompassed in the exercise of professional and technical knowledge and practice, the paper concludes with (i) speculations on how the current crisis and its management (i.e. lockdown and social distancing measures in public space’ use) might lead to radical changes to the way we think of, and design the conditions for, urban public life and sociability; and with (ii) an agenda for further research on what role urban forms and uses play in speeding or slowing viral spread in different contexts.

本文旨在通过引发关于动态非平衡弹性的辩论，尤其是在规模方面，引发人们对反脆弱性（Taleb，Anti-fragile。从无序中获得收益的事物。PenguinBooks，伦敦，2012）的构想的思考。 ，城市形态和城市地区的社会生活。它将通过对有关建筑环境中的弹性的相关文献进行批判性评论，并将其与我们迄今为止所了解的可能限制传播的物理（即地理，形态等）和社会文化条件相联系，从而做到这一点。 2020年初保持COVID-19的质量，同时保持城市空间的质量。由于当前的流行病正在加深我们对本地和全球行动与行使专业技术知识和实践所包含的力量之间的联系的了解，因此本文的结论是（i）对当前危机及其管理的方式进行推测（即在公共空间使用中的封锁和社会疏远措施）可能会导致我们对城市公共生活和社交能力的思考以及设计条件的方式发生根本性变化；（ii）进一步研究城市形态和用途在不同背景下加速或减慢病毒传播中所起的作用的议程。设计城市公共生活和社交条件；（ii）进一步研究城市形态和用途在不同背景下加速或减慢病毒传播中所起的作用的议程。设计城市公共生活和社交条件；（ii）进一步研究城市形态和用途在不同背景下加速或减慢病毒传播中所起的作用的议程。
