ITPI journalSummary: As the COVID-19 pandemic have significantly distorted urban life, in this paper an
attempt has been made to incorporate the concept of resilience because cities of future
needs to be resilient to meet the challenges of pandemics and endemics. Accordingly,
the authors called on the urban planners and policy makers engaged in spatial planning
and management to adopt “people-oriented” concepts in order to reduce the negative
impacts of such disasters on both cities and people. The shift to home working has changed
people’s way of life, affected their subjective well-being, and significantly affected
spatial planning within cities, placing greater demands on community spatial planning.
Therefore, additional open public spaces and a more supportive infrastructure are
required. The paper observes that an effective community-based spatial planning system
has not been established, yet, something which needs to be taken into consideration in
the master plan for the future.
