However, research scarcely addresses pandemic’s enduring influence perceptions city living. Rather than exploring mid- to long-term impacts, current literature focuses mainly comparing changes in residential preferences during and before pandemic. To fill this gap, we conducted a randomized conjoint experiment scrutinize altered attitudes toward residing Tokyo Metropolis due Scenarios encompassed reminders potential pandemic re-occurrence teleworking options. Despite variations depending scenarios socio-demographic characteristics survey participants, overall, results show that surge remote working did not diminish allure Tokyo, implying low probability an urban decline. These outcomes advocate for compact development bolster resilience against forthcoming stressors like climate change.

Abstract This study leverages mobile data for 5.4 million users to unveil the complex dynamics of daily mobility and longer-term relocations in from Santiago, Chile, during COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on socioeconomic differentials. We estimated a relative increase mobility, 2020, lower-income compared higher-income regions. In contrast, relocation rose primarily among groups. These shifts indicate nuanced responses pandemic across classes. Compared 2017, economic factors 2020 had stronger influence decision relocate selection destinations, suggesting transformations behaviors. Contrary previously held beliefs, there was no evidence supporting preference rural over urban despite surge emigration Santiago pandemic. enhances our understanding how varying conditions interact with decisions crises provides insights policymakers aiming enact fair evidence-based measures rapidly changing circumstances.

This review paper draws upon a wide range of diverse international sources to give still relatively early assessment the extent which COVID-19 pandemic stimulated resurgence counterurbanisation across much global North. Whilst it finds and argues that 'resurgence' was apparent, may not have been as strong or lasting suggested by media reports in particular. Indeed, numerous challenges any such are noted, drawn especially from recent reflections on period. Nonetheless, counterurban revival is seen being significant more widely fits with wider resurgent interest 'all things rural' pre-dated but further it. In contrast celebrated rural, also notes how city life often unsatisfactory during pandemic, least because its usual underpinning everyday mobilities strongly compromised. condition stimulated, particular, turn rural for pragmatic than idealistic reasons, health freedom space. Overall, whole experience sits within political questions about access space centrally involving rural. • Well-established North attracted renewed attention via reinforcement through COVID-19.

ABSTRACT The COVID‐19 pandemic had a profound spatial impact on economic, cultural and social life, notably altering mobility, including internal migration. Many studies to date looked into various aspects of migration patterns after the outbreak. However, little research has been focused area Central Eastern Europe. aim paper is empirically examine quantitative perspective registered inter‐municipal migrations in Poland between 2017 2023. Specifically, study sought determine how scale directions changed across three distinct periods: (1) pre‐pandemic (2017–2019); (2) during initial response (2020); (3) post‐restrictions period (2021–2023). We ask what extent dominant trends (depopulation rural areas growth metropolitan fuelled by strong suburbanisation trends) were affected compared preceding years. this through analysis intensity, net‐migration rates predominance urban origins destinations, using population register data annual flows municipalities. discover that resulted decrease intensity 2020 as well following years 2017–2019, with lower suburban greater non‐metropolitan peripheries.

Introduction Housing stability is a key health determinant and there need for early screening instability with existing electronic record (EHR) data to improve outcomes. We aim establish recorded address changes as variable housing homelessness attempt define the threshold of high churn. Methods Our study single-center cross-sectional EHR (2018-2024) conducted at US academic center eleven sites across Chicago. include patients 18 years or older least three hospital encounters over different years. churn number in corrected three-year intervals. compare demographic clinical characteristics individuals varying student T-test look distribution without homelessness, ANOVA evaluate ages levels churn, chi-square test association between diagnoses. perform multivariable logistic regression measure people changes. Results The includes 1,068,311 756,222 having zero changes, 156,911 one change, 137,491 two 9,558 8,129 four more People no have mean 0.6 (SD 0.7) whereas 1.8 1.3). Diagnostic profiles change groups show increased prevalence psychiatric diagnoses (65.2% 4 more-address group) compared lower (27.7% 0-address group). Address significantly associated an odds ratio (OR) 1.44 (95% CI = [1.42-1.47], P < 0.001). Conclusion results support role residential healthcare systems reinforce disorders instability. findings can help public policy makers targeting vulnerable populations risk multiple comorbidities interventions.
