Streets for Pandemic Response and Recovery – Français

Ces derniers mois, la pandémie mondiale de COVID-19 a transformé tous les aspects de la vie urbaine. Pour y répondre, les responsables des transports urbains du monde entier ont rapidement mis en place de nouveaux outils pour l’aménagement et la gestion des rues afin que les travailleurs essentiels et les marchandises puissent continuer à circuler, que les épiceries et autres commerces essentiels restent accessibles en toute sécurité et que les personnes disposent d’un espace sûr suffisamment grand pour maintenir une distanciation physique/sociale lorsqu’ils sont dans la rue. Ces pratiques évolutives dessineront nos villes à mesure que nous répondons à la pandémie de COVID-19 et sont fondamentales pour la reprise de nos activités à long terme.

Des rues pour répondre à la pandémie et faciliter la reprise recense des pratiques émergentes du monde entier et propose aux villes et à leurs partenaires des ressources pour les mettre en œuvre. Conscients de la nature extrêmement changeante de cette pandémie, Des rues pour répondre à la pandémie et faciliter la reprise sera révisé et élargi afin d’inclure de nouvelles stratégies, d’apporter des réponses aux conditions en constante évolution et de fournir les meilleures informations possible pour chaque pratique d’aménagement
