“…Lockdown measures have created new conditions for the cities and everyday life [3] and led to a widening of social inequalities related to access to housing, the health care system, technology, and labor; these inequalities make women, people with disabilities, precarious workers, poor people, and ethnic minorities even more vulnerable [5,6]. The increase in social inequalities is a fact of special importance for the active population [7].…”

“…As the COVID-19 crisis expands and deepens, the dominant discourse about the effects on labor is more and more consolidated in the direction of focusing almost exclusively on macroeconomic arguments and concerns; the result is financial recession, the rise of unemployment, and the adoption of flexible forms of labor [14][15][16]. However, gender, age, marital status, as well as the type and the status of work are-among others factors-associated with differentiated perceptions, experiences, and practices of the active population during the lockdown [6,14], a fact that is ignored or underestimated in the dominant academic, social, and political discourse.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic that erupted in early 2020 has affected the everyday life, the practices, and the perceptions of the global population significantly. The aim of this paper is to investigate the perceptions, experiences, and practices of the active population regarding everyday urban life (working conditions, mobility, urban space, etc.) in the context of the first wave of the pandemic, by focusing on people who live and work in Greek cities. The data were collected using a structured questionnaire addressed to an active population. The majority of respondents declared that their personal and family lives were affected by the lockdown, with significant effects on their professional life and economic activities. Stress and fear were two feelings that increased. As far as mobility was concerned, the majority of respondents were unwilling to change their commuting practices. Although most of our findings presented a homogenous distribution in our sample, some changes in perceptions, experiences, and practices were correlated with the gender, age, and family status of the respondents. The results of the analysis provide useful information to policy makers and show that it is necessary to radically rethink aspects of urban space and urban mobility, in relation to the multiple problems and dynamics of the active population.
