Resilience vs Pandemics

This book delves into the theme of resilience in the post-pandemic era, with a specific focus on public places and buildings. In contrast to the first book, which explored the evolving concept of "resilience" in the built environment, this book narrows its scope to the research of the built environment at a smaller scale. This book aims to analyze and discuss the profound changes in architecture and urban design that have risen in response to pressing pandemic-related issues, such as social distancing, air renovation, social behavior, and other relevant topics.The book covers a wide range of studies, including physical and non-physical studies, which may refer to the city infrastructure, green/blue spaces, housing, policy-making, health services, social and economic issues, etc. The findings and results will contribute to the decision-making of governments, organizations, and institutions, as well as inspire scholars and future research for developing resilience in the post-pandemic era.The book calls for multi- and interdisciplinary proposals from scholars, institutions, practitioners, and stakeholders performing research and plans in the fields of urban studies, architecture, urbanism, social sciences, computer sciences, history, politics, etc. The target audience recognizes the relevance of resilience in the built environment to achieve more sustainable cities.
