Built Environment Volume 47 - number 3 How Covid-19 Changes the Way We Live

As we move from emergency ‘fixes’ to longer term accommodation of ‘living with Covid’, the time seemed ripe to take stock of how Covid-19 is changing the way we live. We asked authors, including guest editors of recent issues of the journal, to write think pieces on themes that have particular lessons for urbanism during the pandemic period. Our brief to them was to focus on experiences in their respective domains and to look towards future directions and impacts on the built environment. The range is consciously eclectic and wide ranging and while it cannot attempt to be comprehensive it hopes to capture definite insights and lessons.
