Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted cities worldwide, resulting in unprecedented challenges for urban areas in terms of economic, social, and environmental aspects. This research paper aims to analyze the challenges and opportunities that cities have encountered before and after the pandemic and the implemented solutions to address these issues. A systematic literature review methodology was employed, examining academic papers, reports, and policy documents to identify the main challenges and opportunities cities face. The results suggest that cities have encountered challenges in public health, social inequality, economic stability, mobility, and environmental sustainability. However, the pandemic has also created opportunities for innovation and transformation, including digitalization, public space design, and urban resilience. This paper concludes with recommendations on policy strategies and interventions that can help cities address these challenges and take advantage of the opportunities to achieve a more sustainable and equitable urban future.
