“…There was a renewed recognition of the importance of the urban-scape to provide social experiences [23], infrastructure, and spaces to support physical and mental health [24,25], flexible and safe transport modes [26], and access to digital infrastructure [27,28] as part of basic human rights for urban living and enhanced liveability. A new definition of essential tasks [29], the importance of transportation for global and geographically remote cities such as Sydney [30], changing travel patterns [30], and the decentralisation of the urban centres driven by the drastic change in user-values and user-needs [31,32] further challenged the contemporary city centres.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic did not only impact all spheres of life but came abruptly to redefine our understanding of the urban-scape. With changing user-values and user-needs, there is a renewed realisation of the importance of the human-scape and how human capital, social issues, and liveability considerations will progressively lead urban development discussions. The urban-scape risk is far more complex and fragile than previously anticipated, with the future of the city centre dependent on our ability to successfully manage the transition from an urban-scape to a human-scape. This research employed a narrative review methodology to reflect on COVID-19 trends that will shape future city centres, based on expert contributions pertaining to (1) the community sector, (2) the public sector, and (3) the private sector within the Sydney Metropolitan area of Australia. The research highlighted the changing human-scape needs and associated impacts of (1) changing movement patterns, (2) changing social infrastructure, and (3) increasing multifunctionality, which will be crucial factors in shaping attractive (future) city centres. The research contributes to the notion that future city centres will embrace and prioritise the human-scape in a response to ‘build back better’, and accordingly, identified how the human-scape can be articulated in broader spatial planning approaches to create attractive future city centres.

“…The first case of Covid-19 was reported in Ireland on the 29 th of February 2020. Following this, the Irish government declared a complete lockdown from the 12 th of March 2020 ( Caulfield et al, 2021 ). All schools, colleges, and childcare facilities closed on the 12 th of March followed by closure of all non-essential services including most of the businesses ( Panda et al, 2021 ).…”

“…The first stage of lockdown allowed people to travel within 2 km from their home for exercise. On the 18 th of May, these restrictions began to be eased in a phased manner allowing people to travel within 5 km from their home ( Caulfield et al, 2021 ; Quintyne et al, 2021 ). However, it was instructed that all non-essential travel be kept to a minimum.…”

Covid-19 has had a major impact on the transport systems around the world. Several transport-related policies were implemented in short period of time to contain the spread of the pandemic. These policies had a major influence on travel behaviour and people's perception towards the safety of different modes of transport, especially public transport, thus affecting several sustainable mobility initiatives. To build a resilient and sustainable transport system and to rebuild trust in public transport, it is important to understand the role of mobility in the spread of Covid-19 pandemic. The present study investigates the relationship between mobility and reported Covid-19 infections using data from Dublin city. Different modes of transport including traffic volume, bus passengers, pedestrians and cyclists were considered in the study during a forty week period. Multiple scenarios involving two-week lag and three-week lag of mobility data and Covid-19 infections were considered in building statistical models. Results showed that, 36.2 % of the reported Covid-19 infections after a two-week lag and 33% of the infections after a three-week lag can be explained using the level of mobility alone. The study further discusses the policy implications and strategies for ensuring a resilient and sustainable transport system.

“…Therefore, it is important to address this issue from different perspectives. In the literature, there are some studies examining what the transport mode preferences will be after the COVID-19 pandemic ( Abdullah et al, 2021 ; Awad-Núñez et al, 2021 ; Caulfield et al, 2021 ; Dai et al, 2021 ; Das et al, 2021 ; Dong et al, 2021 ; Vickerman, 2021 ; Zhang and Zhang, 2021 ). When these studies were examined, information was obtained about the mode changes that may occur in the post-COVID-19 period.…”

The COVID-19 outbreak very quickly disrupted the order of human beings. While many sectors have been trying to cope with the ongoing COVID-19 process, they have also been trying to plan the new process for after the pandemic. Transport is one of the sectors most affected by the pandemic and it is necessary to produce the right political formulations for the post-pandemic period. For this reason, it is necessary to carefully examine the changing user demands in various segments of society due to COVID-19 and reveal effective post-pandemic transport policies. This study contributes to this requirement. Accordingly, this study investigated the transport mode preferences of university students in post-pandemic period in Istanbul, one of the important metropolises of the world, via the use of a survey. The reason for university students were focused on was that the mobility of university students is very high and in addition, they are more flexible than other age groups in using different transport modes. The main findings obtained from the study show that there will be a significant change in demand in transport modes after the pandemic. In particular, while a critical decrease may be observed in the travel demand for public buses, shared minibuses and LRT in public transport in post-pandemic period, a high increase in demand for private car use is highly probable. In addition, the research results indicate that COVID-19 can cause an increase in use of e-scooter/hoverboard and active travel modes. The results obtained through the statistical analysis and the discussions based on these results can make a significant contribution to the post-pandemic transport policies of cities with high university student populations and various transport modes, such as Istanbul.
