The Post-Pandemic City

Abstract

The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic that began in January 2020 has transformed people's lives and activities globally, especially in cities where the majority of the world's population currently live, work, shop, recreate, socialize and move about. News since early 2020 from around the world has reported that people and nations were unprepared or hesitant in responding to the COVID-19 outbreak, which has contributed to both the spread of infections and the longevity of the pandemic. The eventual impact around the world has affected how people behave and interact, both in public and in private, and how they might view cities, buildings and the open spaces around them.
