Context: The pandemic has demonstrated several weaknesses and inequalities in the way society live and develops within cities, the economic losses, the massive contagions, and above all the lack of control and people's lack of awareness of the situation. Objectives: This study tries to attempt, city lacking in green spaces, towards a city with green and sustainable planning, and the association between urban greenery and physical activity during the Covid-19, as well as proposing urban green corridors as a planning tool for urban green areas. Methods: The research method was applied Bibliographic analysis which focuses on the importance of green areas, health, wellbeing, and multifunctional, and City analysis based on surveys to understand the residents' behavior during the pandemic. Results: Green and recreational spaces in Riobamba was exposed by all those who could not cope with the lockdown, since only 8% of those surveyed stayed at home, while 70% left their homes for green or recreational spaces within the urban area and 23% left the city in search of parks or nature reserves. This shows, how the quality of green areas can positively affect people’s behaviors during the Covid-19. The diagnosis, highlighted the preservation of natural areas, urban reforestation, re-naturalization of spaces or urban voids. Conclusions: The urban green corridor is conceived as a system where several spaces are connected, creating two interactions: the first is how the city can provide the necessary infrastructure during a crisis, and the second is how it energizes and prioritizes the health and supply systems for urban residents, creating safe spaces for each of the city's sectors.
