“…The Charlotte Observer reported that more than 30 food businesses in the region closed permanently in the first year of the pandemic (CharlotteFive Staff, 2020). Charlotte restaurants fared better than the national average in 2020 with approximately 12.5% of restaurants closing permanently, compared to a national average of 15.2% (Sedov, 2022).…”

“…In this study, age bias in particular may have influenced the results 32 ; however, the unavailability of age information precludes the discussion of differences in mobility change across generations. Third, the building statistical data only covered 2020 owing to our monetary restrictions, which may have introduced noise in the coefficients for 2021 33 .…”

We analyzed time-series changes in people’s purpose-specific mobility characteristics owing to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Tokyo area of Japan, where only legally non-binding requests for self-restraint were enforced. A multiple regression analysis was conducted with the objective variable being the mobile population in the Tokyo area per 500 m square grid estimated from mobile spatial statistical data for 2 years from 10/01/2019 to 9/30/2021. This study period ranges from pre- to mid-pandemic. The explanatory variable was the number of buildings by type per 500 m square grid obtained from building statistical data to determine behavioral changes by mobility purpose. The analysis revealed that self-restraint was sustained until the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Tokyo area regardless of the purpose of mobility and whether a state of emergency was declared.

“…As cities emerged from the lockdowns of the early pandemic period some, but not all, of this business returned and many establishments in city centers remained closed. Sedov (2021) showed that downtown restaurants were more likely to close over the course of 2021. De Fraja, Matheson, and Rockey (2021) document similar patterns in uk cities.…”

Covid and Cities, Thus Far

A key reason for the existence of cities are the externalities created when people cluster together in close proximity. During Covid, such interactions came with health risks and people found other ways to interact. We document how cities changed during Covid and consider how the persistence of new ways of interacting, particularly remote work, will shape the development of cities in the future. We first summarize evidence showing how residential and commercial prices and activity adjusted at different distances from dense city centers during and since the pandemic. We use a textbook monocentric city model to demonstrate that two adjustments associated with remote work -reduced commuting times and increased housing demand-generate the patterns observed in the data. We then consider how these effects might be magnified by changes in urban amenities and agglomeration forces, and what such forces might mean for the future of cities.
