Kwon Oh-young et al.: Protect the city

“Urban hygiene was a value that has been built through modern times. The city was cleansed, and sanitation became a culture. The result is longevity and health. Korea, on average, was in her mid-40s and was over 80 years old. It's been a long time since I was 60 years old. But the problem remains. One of these is the new epidemic that regularly appears in the 21st century. Corona19 is a great example. Cities are the most active place for the spread. City density is highest. As medical technology and administrative organizations develop, the ranges are rapid and systematic, but infectious diseases are also developing. We cannot help ourselves with the current problem of urban hygiene. Past experiences have meaning in past spaces. But when you say that your past experience is now embedded, you cannot separate it from the present. Experience can help us to think about the present and plan for the future. When I met the cities of the world that were born in war with infectious diseases, from colonial ships to Korea, China, England and Australia, did I ever realize this fear of ‘ plague ’ in our daily lives? Sass, bird flu, Merce, so-called new infections, five. It returned in six years, but now it's relatively small. But Corona19 was different. Although the early stages of the outbreak were expected to disappear unexpectedly, as other infections like SARS have, now they are using what is called a breakthrough infection to neutralize vaccines. But we are not alone now.
