In 2022, cities will bounce back, becoming more liveable and inclusive areas. Via WIREDUK
Cities were hit hard by Covid-19, which raised questions about their long-term futures. Many urban areas saw an exodus of the privileged, who chose to work remotely in their second homes, as rents tumbled and the decrease in human activity lowered air pollution.
Importantly, cities will prioritise liveability. Cultural amenities, museums, public services such as transport, educational institutions, open spaces and access to nature will be major determinants in attracting people back to urban living. City authorities are already investing in greening their cities, adding open space and cycle lanes, and expanding pedestrianisation at the expense of roadways.
Cities will also invest in sustainability. Loss of land, nature and biodiversity to urban expansion has had negative environmental and public-health impacts in many cities across the world, leading to increased flooding, an urban “heat island” effect, worsening air pollution, lower access to fresh food and the spread of zoonotic diseases.
