The reason I bring this up is because the pandemic may possibly change the way we see urban life. Remodeling them in ways that will make urban life more sustainable.
The main idea? City dwellers will probably have everything they need (work, bars, restaurants, shops, schools, healthcare, leisure) within a 15 minute trip - on foot or bike from home. Lockdowns gave working from home proof of concept, challenging the notion that cities need to be divided into separate areas for working and living. I don't know if you noticed this last year, but around my area, many city dwellers experienced life with fewer cars and more bikes on the street.
Now the genie in out of the bottle, next year, I would not doubt if we will see more bicycle lanes and other temporary infrastructure changes implemented to improve city life. Hopefully companies will have smaller workspaces to meet all over the city, closer to people's home, and or virtually remote.
What do you think?
