Findings show that both telework, teleconferencing, learning (e-learning), telehealth, shopping (e-shopping) significantly increased COVID-19 compared pre-COVID-19. Substantial increases were reported for telework (31% increase), teleconferencing (34% telehealth (21% increase). Those who, daily basis, teleworked, teleconferenced, made video calls with family or friends quadrupled COVID-19, while learners seven-fold. Telehealth also but more modestly. Urban post-COVID-19 era is likely depend degree prevalence acceptance these remote activities, together set complex interconnected factors related form, spatial planning decision-making system, social awareness about future cities.

Since its emergence in late 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic has swept through many cities around world, claiming millions of lives and causing major socio-economic impacts. The occurred at an important historical juncture when smart solutions technologies have become ubiquitous cities. Against this background, review, we examine how city contributed to resilience by enhancing planning, absorption, recovery, adaptation abilities. For purpose, reviewed 147 studies that discussed issues related use during pandemic. results were synthesized under four themes, namely, planning preparation, adaptation. This review shows investment initiatives can enhance preparation ability. In addition, adoption can, among other things, capacity predict patterns, facilitate integrated timely response, minimize or postpone transmission virus, provide support overstretched sectors, supply chain disruption, ensure continuity basic services, offer for optimizing operations. These are promising demonstrate utility resilience. However, it should be noted realizing potential hinges on careful attention challenges privacy security, access open-source data, technological affordance, legal barriers, feasibility, citizen engagement. Despite this, further development unprecedented opportunities similar future events.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected our cities in monumental ways with no sector likely being more severely impacted than transport. Lockdowns, physical spacing, transport restrictions and stay-at-home guidelines have transformed personal mobility highlighted the mistakes of an unbalanced pro-car culture that defined a century urban planning. One immediate effect virus relation to travel demand supply was emergence active modes because their unique ability provide socially distanced way Cycling is one enjoyed significant attention. Numerous reallocated street public space cyclists introduced pro-bike interventions like pop-up cycle lanes, e-bike subsidies, free bike-share use traffic calming measures. This newly found outbreak-induced momentum creates opportunity establish new ethos allows promotion potentially permanent strategies may help cycling be (re-)established as robust, mainstream resilient mode for inner city trips not second-class alternative operating under automobile’s giant shadow. paper provides state-of-the-art description anti-COVID cycling-friendly initiatives been globally, successes failures these initiatives, lessons learnt can us redefine bicycle’s role local societies today best practice policy guide planning bike-centric future.
