COVID-19 Impacts on Cities and Suburbs
How is the COVID-19 pandemic changing urban living? In COVID-19 - Impacts on Cities and Suburbs - Key Takeaways Across Multiple Sectors, we explore the landscape of COVID-19 disruptions to date on land use and real estate, urban design, building design, transportation, e-commerce and retail, and goods delivery. We also highlight the longer-term questions and potential ongoing impacts COVID-19 might have on the built environment. We were particularly interested in the changes COVID-19 might have on the development of new mobility, urban delivery, and autonomous vehicles, and how this could impact the built environment. We began tracking the real-time disruptions COVID-19 was causing and projecting potential longer term issues and questions. This paper is the first in a series of papers Urbanism Next has released
focused on the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on cities.
COVID-19 Impacts to the Urbanism Next Framework
Before the pandemic, Urbanism Next developed a framework organizing the disruptions to cities caused by emerging transportation technologies—namely new mobility, autonomous vehicles (AVs), and e-commerce—on the built environment. COVID-19 has disrupted the trajectory of these emerging technologies and will, in turn, change some our original assumptions. In COVID-19 - Impacts to the Urbanism Next Framework, we revisit the original framework, taking into account the cascading impacts of the pandemic. This paper outlines the specific COVID-19 disruptions we have identified and the potential changes they will cause. This is the second paper in a series Urbanism Next is releasing focused on the COVID-19 pandemic. The first paper summarizes our initial findings on the impacts of COVID-19 on the built environment, providing background for the COVID-19 disruptions identified in this paper.
Urbanism Next Framework
Below is an interactive version of the Urbanism Next Framework. The framework organizes the potential impacts of emerging transportation technologies into five categories and five types of broader implications.
