Successful Post-Pandemic Cities

Abstract

The novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak was a significant test of global urban governance capacity and a major rethink for cities to recognize their developmental deficiencies and plan for the future. After successfully combating the pandemic, cities are entering the post-outbreak era, which is both an opportunity and a challenge for development. In the face of increasing urban population and unpredictable disasters, planning and building resilient cities has become an inevitable choice. Therefore, this paper analyses the impact of the pandemic on the city, focuses on how to build a resilient city, puts forward suggestions from four aspects: land use, community building, environmental design, and transport development, and discusses and analyses other challenges facing the city.
