Research on the evolution of urban design from the perspective of public health under the background of the COVID-19

Liu, Hanmao; Wang, Po H

There is a deep relationship between urban design and public health, and the urban built environment plays an important role in shaping human health and well-being. Globally, under the influence of the COVID-19, the interdisciplinary research between the two disciplines has once again attracted attention. From the perspective of public health, the origin of the relationship between the disease and urban design was traced, and the urban epidemic prevention in the “isolation-quarantine-epidemic prevention-traceability” epidemic was discovered response to the changing process. In response to frequent epidemics, it is proposed that urban design needs to return to a healthy city model oriented by public health and public health needs. While promoting the layout of urban epidemic prevention, it actively develops coping strategies for interdisciplinary collaborative research, in order to provide new insights and thinking for urban development research.
