Will there be a return to suburbia after social distancing in city centres? From NY to Bombay how will people react to density and habitations after the tiny assassins take over us?
Dear Dilshad Ara ,
I think people in the world will start thinking about the problem you discussed. Health is a major human need in order to live well. To achieve this, one thing that we really need to pay attention in the future is how we live more friendly to the global environment.
Best regards and take care.
There may be a short to suburbia but shortly afterwards on getting the things normal would back to old routine.
COVID-19 has tremendously revealed the loopholes in the health sector. Even in the midst of the pandemic we have seen effects by governments to address these gaps, but not enough. So, health would definitely be a decisive point for urban regeneration.
In England, the smaller shops and farm shops have been making a big comeback during the pandemic. Hopefully they will continue to thrive. People who normally exercise have been trying to make the most of their outdoor exercise allowance as well as exercising at home, but also some people who don't normally have taken up some outdoor exercise. Hopefully this will continue as well. England is full of fast food takeaway restaurants like McDonalds and Burger King, but during the lockdown people have had to start cooking their own meals at home. Hopefully they will have enjoyed it and will continue to do so. The government have been encouraging building on our open spaces, and our fields and farmland have been disappearing very fast. Hopefully the government will now review this and see the importance of green space, not just for our health but also for the environment's health too. Hopefully they will give us more proper cycle lanes too so we can cycle more safely.
Not really. unfortunately, economy is still the backbone of urban regeneration and will remain to be so.
