Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the way sustainable built environment—encompassing buildings, infrastructure, and other physical structures—is designed, managed, utilized, as societal responses to may have contributed shifts in priorities practices these areas. Research predominantly focused on pandemic’s impacts enhancing resilience of environment its role supporting health protocols, such reducing transmission risks. However, a critical gap persists understanding evolving relationship between various stages environment. Accordingly, this systematic literature review (SLR) aims explore major themes trends identify gaps existing studies. authors employed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method systematically search four databases English-language journal articles published 2020 2023. A total 331 were analyzed using descriptive thematic methods. findings reveal that research shifted during different pandemic, with particular attention given key areas environment: healthy outdoor spaces, urban green spaces (UGS); energy efficiency planning; mobility transportation.

Density has gained considerable attention in policy and scientific discourses since the emergence of COVID-19. In early days, density was blamed as a negative factor that accelerates transmission coronavirus urban areas. Following this, many studies have examined impact on spread This offers good opportunity to examine synthesize insights reported literature understand how affected virus. To do so, we conducted systematic review 134 papers, which around 58 % them found positive predictor. However, relationship between virus is complex mediated by factors such scale, context, methods used for analysis, other built environment factors. Hence, assert infection rate not straightforward, assertions about effects COVID-19 can only be made with caution. Comprehensive analyses taking into account multiple interrelated need carried out before any conclusions regarding this issue drawn. Therefore, it advisable refrain from making premature statements due their potential adverse efforts toward development cities are resilient climate change contribute achieving sustainable goals.
