The pandemic has highlighted how territorial, social and economic imbalances accentuate the fragility of the weakest sections of the population. The war in Europe has generated a widespread sense of insecurity. Therefore, a research question arises on the modalities of urban planning response to the new settlement risks. This research, methodological and applied, defines unpublished contents of the components of Pandemic and War Risk and strategies for four Urban Issues.

Keywords: pandemic and war risk; protection of fragile cities and territories; transformist city; space-time reorganization; revision of urban planning tools
