The World Health Organization declared an official Pandemic during the process of fighting against COVID-19 and all world cities have entered a new era, in which everything from the economy to social policies, from management styles to production relations, from lifestyles to personal relations have started to be discussed and transformed.
During the pandemic process, a new-normal has begun: Working from home, online education, online meetings, social distancing, and travel restrictions have merged with the psychological depression, health issues and expected economic crisis. Reconsidering the layout and design of urban spaces during the pandemic has added new responsibilities to architecture, landscape architecture, planning, and design professions. Given that the cholera epidemic was detected and taken under control by examining water supply maps and sewer infrastructure data in London, the spatial analysis and solutions will also play a big role to control the COVID-19 pandemic and to live with it. The green and public areas as well as houses and workplaces (not to mention the health facilities) will play an important role in our during- and post-pandemic future. For that reason, the book “Pandemic: Cities, Architecture and Landscape Design” will be of crucial importance in terms of tackling the current design challenges.
