Resumo

Fundamentally, the coronavirus widespread has highlighted all kinds of social inequalities, including the poor access to potable water in some nations. Given that, one can ask how urban furniture may possibly make a difference regarding this specific matter. Hence, the present study aims to mind the manufacturing of specific urban furniture for the COVID-19 pandemic in countries where urban planning is inadequate and potable water is exclusive for some. In order to analyze these concerns, this paper adopted a qualitative approach and it is both a bibliographic and documental research. Additionally, reports produced by Brazilian Department of Health and official government data on sanitation and urbanization were extensively examined. In conclusion, urban furniture is a relevant mean for fighting the Sars-CoV-2 pandemic and its consequences to vulnerable populations.
