“…Urban society is a society that consumes a high lifestyle. Capitalism and urban society have a high association [17]. In several studies on cities, especially those that have investigated cities' ecology and political economy, it has been shown that the city itself is a place where social action is conditioned, capitalist enterprises are engineered, and government can have a decisive influence [18] [19].…”

The Covid-19 virus has attacked almost all aspects of human life, including the community's economy. Globally, during the Covid-19 pandemic, 94% of workers experienced layoffs. Likewise in Indonesia, more than 3.5 million workers were affected by layoffs. A pandemic attack is a momentum to activate the attitude of altruism and solidarity among citizens. Gotong royong is a local Indonesian term that takes the form of joint activities to achieve mutually expected results. When modern life is always considered to have destroyed the traditional values of gotong royong and solidarity, it does not apply to the context of solidarity in the pandemic era. The interesting thing is that the attitude of altruism and solidarity grows in modern urban society, which is shown by various solidarity initiatives through digital platforms. The concept of gotong royong is now transforming into a new face: digital gotong royong. This study aims to analyze the practice of altruism and urban solidarity through digital gotong royong which was carried out when the Covid-19 pandemic hit Indonesia. The research method used is a qualitative method with a strict literature review to read the phenomena of altruism and solidarity practices. An important finding from this research is the need for a new perspective in interpreting altruism and solidarity in the context of urban society. The prerequisites for the value of closeness and kinship in the practice of digital gotong royong are not the main values.

“…The state way itself puts forward the existence of state regulation in the redistribution arrangement. Regulations by the state itself can be more flexible and carried out simultaneously and gradually (Smiley & Emerson, 2020). This is the characteristic of a country to carry out a single monopoly on these public services.…”

“…These industrial and environmental legacies can be understood as part of a place tradition that conditions social outcomes, such as air quality related to industrial pollution, in an urban area (Molotch et al 2000). Place theory avers that accumulating actions in a community (especially by elite actors in commerce and government) in past time periods structure the future possibilities for action in that place (Molotch et al 2000;Smiley and Emerson 2020). This constitutes a place tradition in which the elements of "economy, demography, politics, organizations, culture, and aesthetics.…”

The changing manufacturing economy has received scant attention in research on environmental inequalities, even though manufacturing work in the United States has dropped precipitously since the mid-20th century. I integrate manufacturing decline in metropolitan areas into the study of environmental inequality by using data on industrial air pollution in 1990, 2000, and 2010. I test to see if an indicator of change in the number of manufacturing workers in a metropolitan area from 1970 to each of the three study years is associated with more or less industrially produced toxic emissions. Findings show, somewhat counterintuitively, that metropolitan areas that have had a larger drop in manufacturing work are linked to greater industrial air pollution and that these findings hold in all U.S. regions except the West. Implications focus on how the indelible imprint of manufacturing history may condition contemporary pollution levels. work (Bell 1973). Research on environmental inequality in the environmental justice tradition has long analyzed industrial pollution from manufacturing facilities (e.g., Bullard 1990;Mohai, Pellow, and Timmons 2009;Taylor 2014), but it has not supplied a measurable sense of how this changing industrial economy has influenced unequal industrial pollution levels in the United States.
