Street Experiments and COVID-19: Challenges, Responses and Systemic Change

Lennert Verhulst et al.

Summary: Cities have implemented street experiments during the COVID-19 pandemic to address urgent health challenges, aiming to facilitate safe movement in urban spaces while adhering to physical distancing requirements. These experiments not only respond to immediate needs, but also have the potential to bring about systemic changes in urban mobility. This paper examines urban case studies and showcases how pandemic-induced street experiments offer solutions to specific mobility and public space challenges. However, issues related to equity and citizen participation need attention. Ultimately, the paper finds that pandemic-induced street experiments enjoy higher acceptance from the public and authorities, possess a more permanent nature, and are better integrated into long-term planning agendas, thus enabling systemic change in urban mobility.

The six dimensions of built environment on urban vitality: Fusion evidence from multi-source data

Xin Li et al.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between the built environment and urban vitality by combining different data sources. The results show that factors such as population density, community age, and open space have positive impacts on urban vitality, while road density, proximity to parks, and green space have negative impacts.

Pandemics as 'windows of opportunity': Transitioning towards more sustainable and resilient transport systems

Varsolo Sunio et al.

Summary: The COVID pandemic crisis has created an opportunity for reshaping the transport system in Metro Manila. Public health protection has become a top priority, leading to radical disruptions in the traditional transport systems. Cycling has emerged as a primary mode of transportation, offering opportunities to improve financial viability and safety for cyclists.

COVID-19 as a window of opportunity for cycling: Evidence from the first wave

Beda Buchel et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant reduction in mobility and a shift towards individual transport modes such as cycling. Some cities responded by opening more bike lanes, reducing bike-sharing fees, and implementing other measures to encourage cycling. Surveys of bike policy experts showed that there is an opportunity to increase bike usage by implementing new policy measures during the pandemic. If no action is taken, bike usage may not increase in the long term, highlighting the importance of seizing this opportunity to strengthen cycling as a sustainable urban transport mode.

Pop-up cycling infrastructure as a niche innovation for sustainable transportation in European cities: An inter- and transdisciplinary case study of Berlin

Sophia Becker et al.

Summary: Changes in mobility behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic have provided an opportunity for sustainable mobility transition. Temporary cycling infrastructure, implemented in many European cities, is assessed in terms of air quality, behavior, and acceptance, focusing on Berlin, Germany. The results indicate that pop-up bike lanes are well-received, increase cycling usage, and reduce cyclists' exposure to nitrogen dioxide, promoting a shift towards bicycle-friendly cities.

Exploring green gentrification in 28 global North cities: the role of urban parks and other types of greenspaces

Margarita Triguero-Mas et al.

Summary: Cities globally are implementing re-naturing projects to address urban challenges, but these interventions may also lead to green gentrification. This study analyzed 28 mid-sized cities in North America and Western Europe and found that parks are positively associated with gentrification processes, while newly designated nature preserves are negatively associated.

Not quite a block party: COVID-19 street reallocation programs in Seattle, WA and Vancouver, BC

Caislin L. Firth et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to light mobility inequities within cities, leading to the rapid implementation of street reallocation initiatives. These initiatives may impede other mobility needs, but they also present opportunities for cities to address inequities in mobility and access to public spaces. Monitoring how data is used and involving communities in redesigning these temporary spaces for their own mobility is crucial moving forward.

COVID-19, activity and mobility patterns in Bogota. Are we ready for a '15-minute city'?

Luis A. Guzman et al.

Summary: Research shows that the COVID-19 lockdown in Bogota had varying impacts on activity and travel patterns among different income groups. Low-income individuals were more adversely affected economically and in terms of travel, and there were significant income inequalities regarding access to essential services in proximity.

Temporary and Tactical Urbanism in Australia: Perspectives from Practice

Quentin Stevens et al.

Summary: Temporary and tactical urbanism in Australia is seen as a way to enhance urban intensity, community engagement, and resilience, while also being influenced by neoliberal deregulation, austerity, and long-term state planning. Unlike overseas approaches, Australian T/T urbanism focuses more on citizen engagement and collaboration within planning processes, rather than as a DIY or guerrilla response to neoliberal regimes.

Equity in new active travel infrastructure: A spatial analysis of London's new Low Traffic Neighbourhoods

Rachel Aldred et al.

Summary: This article examines the equity of new active travel infrastructure in London, focusing on Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs). The study found that LTNs are mainly implemented in affluent areas but overall distribution among London residents is relatively fair. Residents in more deprived areas are more likely to live in an LTN, as well as ethnic minorities and car-free households. However, implementation varies across districts, with some not implementing LTNs at all.

Can street-focused emergency response measures trigger a transition to new transport systems? Exploring evidence and lessons from 55 US cities

Meredith Glaser et al.

Summary: This research inventories emergency response measures in the 55 largest cities of the US, and finds that several cities are using COVID conditions to experiment with new forms of street design. These cities excel in conveying a vision for the future, articulating implementation pathways, leveraging political capacity, and circulating information. Cities showing continued strength are focusing on evaluating the experiments, validating their feasibility, and integrating them into existing sustainability policies.
