“…Mental health issues are spread among women and mothers. This study confirms the evidence found in González et al [50] about depression reaching higher levels than ever and that COVID-19 had a strong impact on mental health throughout lockdown. In their study, in fact, women and youth have been most affected by the pandemic.…”

“…Other studies are conducted on the post-COVID-19 Spanish situation and its impacts on mental health. The research carried out by González et al [50] highlights that depression reached higher levels than ever, COVID-19 had a strong impact on mental health throughout.

“…Thus, among the studies conducted from a gender perspective in different areas of the globe, González et al [50] focused their attention on the challenges and strategies of post-COVID-19 in sustainable mobility. Another study on perception and preference for home-based telework in the COVID-19 period from a gender-based analysis in Hanoi (Vietnam) was developed by Nguyen and Armoogum [51] and shows that women have more preference for teleworking then men.…”

“…These results have important implications for business sustainability in the medium and long term. Women's situation and gender-based inequality have worsened during and after COVID-19, as has emerged in recent studies [2,[9][10][11]50,53,55]. A study leaded by Yueping et al [55] on the impact of COVID-19 on Chinese migrant workers who returned to China shows that women migrants were less likely than men migrants to return to the cities and also less likely to return to paid work after the pandemic outbreak, confirming the gender gap in work and salaries.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has signified an historical change in human mobility. By transforming the patterns of people on the move, it has highlighted gender-based inequalities and women’s vulnerabilities. The link between COVID-19 and return migration shapes returnees’ readaptation process in their home countries, as returnees are embedded in a limbo between the pandemic’s pressure on the policy and socio-economic setting, on one hand, and their efforts for reintegration, on the other. Due to the pandemic, the gender-based imbalance has increased existing gender gaps both in migration and return, exacerbating women’s vulnerability. Thus, personal aspirations and professional expectations of highly educated women are caught in a system of socio-economic and geographical (im)mobility, which represents the principal outcome in their relocation and readaptation process. Based on a qualitative methodology through the analysis of ten life histories of highly educated returnee migrant women, this paper sheds light on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on their migratory trajectories, providing a typology of them. Findings stress the necessity for more sustainable measures and resources for life–work balance and gender-sensitive policies, to promote a better integration process into the local labour market; to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 on returnee women, and to prevent the proliferation of mental health problems among returnee women.

Although the Republic of Moldova has experienced massive increase in vehicle ownership and use, some of the latest advances in how to approach and nurture public space are underutilized. This article summarizes the basic findings of a project aimed at transfer of knowledge and the implementation of the smart city process in Chișinu, Moldova. Chișinu presents a perfect opportunity for full-scale transformation regarding mobility in the smart city process. In its current state, where there are still enough opportunities to make significant improvements and for the region itself, the Republic of Moldova falls into the category of middle- to lower-income countries. Moreover, this article looks at the difficulties of preparing a smart mobility strategy while under the effect of the current COVID-19 pandemic in the form of social distancing by the city. The subject of study is to determine whether a long-distance strategy can be properly created and introduced, mostly based on proper communication. Key data sources were examined and chosen as the basis for determining weaknesses and as a basis for determining the main pillars. While challenging, this paper finds distanced knowledge transfer and planning to be achievable.

Locking down cities to curb the transmission of coronavirus brought the global economy to a grinding halt. Cities are like engines of growth; when they stop, so does the growth. Therefore, it becomes paramount to build cities that continue to function and do not collapse amidst any crisis. Since economic recovery is underway, this paper examines priority areas for investment to expedite recovery and build back stronger cities. These areas are evaluated based on their contribution to revitalizing public health, economic, social, energy, and environmental sectors. For the analysis, analytical network process (ANP) and fuzzy‐VIKOR are applied. ANP obtains the relative importance of sectors and their respective critical factors after solving a complex relationship among them. The economic sector has the highest weight of 25.8% among the five sectors, while job creation has the highest weight of 10.3% among the fifteen factors. Fuzzy‐VIKOR is used to evaluate different areas and it is found that renewable energy has a greater contribution to the sustainable recovery of major sectors and the long‐term aim of building inclusive green and resilient cities. These insights shall contribute to the conversations already ongoing among city governments, urban planners, civil society organizations, and city dwellers seeking practical solutions to unprecedented challenges posed by the pandemic.
