Summary:Faced with the global crisis unleashed by Covid-19, this work provides reflections from the point of view of Architecture and Urbanism. The design disciplines follow a strange paradox. On the one hand, they propose solutions for the future; on the other hand, they learn from experience, reviewing the past. In this context, it is proposed to review the incidence of other health crises on urban life. In particular, this article focuses on the hygienist worldview, which laid the foundations for the modernization process of the cities and housing at the end of the 19th century. The paper includes three aspects: social control, technological change and intervention in housing conditions, making a counterpoint between past and present to analyze how these facets regain validity arose again with the crisis of coronavirus.
