While shaking our society and turning our way of living upside down, the COVID19 pandemic is also putting the relation between nature and us under a different light. As we were forced to limit our movements to the maximum, green spaces & urban forests show their full potential of improving human physical and mental well-being, and act as a litmus test that reveals the inequalities characterizing our societies. In this context, this survey aims to gather information on how the attitude of citizens towards nature in different cities across the world is changing during these challenging times.
From making city cycling safer to promoting social distancing green spaces, these are the changes we could see in the coming years.
Good question Nicola da Schio. From history, disasters and crises have redrawn our cities. For example:
- Tuberculosis, believed to have caused almost a quarter of all deaths in the 1800s, was associated with overcrowded cities. It was one of the driving forces behind both the Garden City movement and the modernist town planning of Le Corbusier and others, which argued for settlements surrounded by ample green space.
- And the creation of the city’s sewer system was a response on the London’s cholera outbreaks of the mid-19th century. Not only it involved a network of underground drains but also the construction of the Thames embankments. Its effect was political as well as hygienic.
Currently there is a growing attention to create urban green spaces, including Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI), that will reshape our cities after the lockdown.

Green got top priority during the COVID phase. Attaching few papers for your ready references
The question Nicola da Schio asked is extremely interesting, perhaps this work can add a piece
