The CCRN 2022 Symposium focuses on the communicative configurations and 
transformations of the (post-)pandemic city. Cities across the world 
have experienced the pandemic differentially but acutely, with abrupt 
interruptions of their economic and cultural life and with physical 
isolation resetting conditions for urban communication. As cities across 
the world come out of and change because of the Covid-19 pandemic, 
physical isolation, collective trauma, and fears of consequent crises 
cast their shadows over urban life. While cities look ahead into diverse 
and wide-ranging challenges for their futures, urban communication is at 
the heart of many of those challenges.

The conditions of possibility and impossibility to connect raise a 
number of critical questions for the (post-)pandemic city, which we 
address at the Symposium:

  * How has urban communication changed in the context and conditions of
    crisis and what can we learn from the crisis period about the
    long-term patterns of connected and disconnected cities and their
    people?
  * Have social media replaced other forms of urban communication and
    connection and what are the benefits and limits of intensified
    digital connectivity for the social and cultural life of the city?
  * How has the pandemic shaped meanings of solidarity and belonging in
    cities bringing people closer together or pushing them further apart?
  * Has the urban landscape changed irreversibly, with downtowns and
    high streets further declining and younger generations abandoning
    the city for the suburbs?
