Abstract

Due to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, short-term readjustments were necessary to adapt teaching and field research activities to the digital environment. This article aims to describe and point out strategies that made possible approximations between the University and communities, demonstrating the development of participatory, dialogical, and emancipatory processes, which enable positive transformations in the local reality of those communities. Such strategies indicate a new model of virtual monitoring of urban planning interventions for the healthy city within a pandemic situation. Based on the observational-explanatory method, it has been possible to visit the intervention projects through the digital platform adopted by the University. Project members narrated about the implementation of interventions of Urban Planning for a Healthy City, enabling the University to monitor them based on reports from its stakeholders and the community. The projects presented show creative and low-cost examples on the local (micro) scale capable of changing the local reality in convergence with the premises of health promotion and protection.
