Abstract Existing empirical work has analysed the impacts of COVID‐19 on mortality, fertility and international migration. Less is known about ways in which pandemic influenced patterns internal Anecdotal reports mass migration from large cities to less populated areas have emerged, but lack data prevented empirically assessing this hypothesis. Drawing geographically granular administrative population register data, we aim analyse extent change across urban hierarchy Spain during 2020.

Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic has potentially altered the system of population movement around world. As hit cities hardest in wake pandemic, apocalyptic headlines anticipated ‘death cities’. Yet, little was known about impact on and ways it shaped patterns internal out cities. This virtual special issue aims to consolidate our knowledge impacts migration, discuss key lessons we have learnt so far, identify areas for future enquiry. It brings together evidence from six different countries: Australia, Germany, Japan, Spain, Sweden United Kingdom, covering varying temporal lengths. Systematic emerge. A first commonality is an overall reduction migration rates during early days but a lesser degree than expected. Second, leading out‐migration seem been temporary, though Spain Britain points scarring effects with persistent losses highly dense areas.

The three-year-long COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped people’s work activities and daily lives. Who are leaving metropolitan areas (MAs) in this context? This paper utilizes Japanese government survey data binary logit models for analysis. Our results unveil that the migration involved MAs is associated with lower infection risks destination prefectures, but not regional unemployment rates or individuals’ telework utilization frequencies. Factors influencing intention differ distinctly from those driving action. These findings can guide local governments developing effective population-attracting policies.

This paper aims quantify current future dynamics on levels, patterns drivers from Australian cities regions. Results show 7% drop rate between Greater Capital City Statistical Areas 2020 compared previous year, with record net gains facilitated by 9% decrease departures rather than an increase arrivals cities. Our forecasts suggest that regions will slow down after 2022, but remain higher pre-pandemic levels New South Wales, Queensland, Australia, Tasmania because sustained arrivals. Regional Western Northern Territory continue losses, while Victoria are predicted be lower pre-COVID-19 departures. These have important implications for population projections policies regarding attraction retention internal migrants Australia's

Abstract Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, speculations on decline of major cities have surged, with studies noting temporary population decreases across various worldwide. 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.
