“…and communities respond autonomously to pandemic situations by undertaking a variety of actions aimed at increasing their resilience. Most of these initiatives took place under the informal group category (French et al, 2020). In this situation, informal refers not only to residence status but also to livelihoods.…”

<p class="Abstract"><em>The pandemic of Covid-19 has hit Indonesia heavily, especially when it was confirmed infectious in early 2020. The government accelerated the immunization program and implemented numerous stimuli and regulations to reduce the effects. However, It didn't stop many people and communities from moving independently to cope with the impacts. An informal community partnership led by Arkom, a community architects’ institution, may be one of the pandemic's resilience efforts. Using a bottom-up and participatory strategy, Arkom has succeeded in building community resilience during the pandemic. The Covid 19 epidemic poses unique challenges from previous physical disasters. Seeing disaster as both a challenge and an opportunity, this study intends to describe Arkom's and its informal community alliances' resilience throughout the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. Safier's room of maneuver lens is used to dismantle scenarios with strategic, technical, organizational, and social components. The data is collected and analyzed using snowball procedures with community members and field facilitators. The study concludes that ARKOM and its community alliances could adapt to make a maneuver during the pandemic, and technology is one of the keys to maneuver success.</em></p>

“…COVID-19 put the spotlight on health protection in buildings [54]. Existing efforts combined with new transformations may help address urban health inequalities stemming from socio-spatial structural injustices for the benefit of cities and all their residents to make them better prepared for, and more resilient to, COVID-19 and other similar crises we may face in the future [55].…”

“…Malaysia, in its efforts towards low carbon society beyond COVID-19, has plans to install rooftop solar panels, new grids, and LED street lights and earmarked about US$2.9 billion for that purpose. To accomplish this vision, the government, businesses, and small players should work hand in hand [55]. Consequently, this article has undertaken a review of the current status pertinent to renewable energy in Malaysia.…”

COVID-19 and Green Housing: A Review of Relevant Literature

et al. 2021

This review presents an analysis of three hypotheses. The articles provide a specific perspective on green housing before, during, and post COVID-19. The validations of these hypotheses were performed by analyzing the scientific literature worldwide and by adding a statistical analysis of appropriate articles from the Scopus database. The purpose of this review is to overview the research written on housing developments during the upsurge of COVID-19 along with the responses from the green building sector, because this field appears to be rapidly emerging by the sheer volume of research studies currently undertaken. Foremost peer-reviewed journals covering construction, urban studies‎, real estate, energy, civil engineering, buildings, indoor air, management, economics‎, business‎, environmental studies,‎ and environmental sciences‎ that were published last year were selected for review. The review was conducted by applying a combination of various keywords and the criteria for paper selection, including sustainable building, green construction, green building, resource-efficient, a building’s lifecycle, COVID-19, energy, water, consumption, health effects, comfort, occupant behaviors, policy, economy, Industry 5.0, energy-efficient retrofitting, and profit. Two, innovative elements in this study stand out when comparing it with the most advanced research on green housing before, during, and after COVID-19. The first innovation relates to the integrated analyses of COVID-19 pandemic, housing policies of countries and cities pertinent to COVID-19 that impact green housing and the wellbeing of their residents as well as the impact made by residents and a housing policy on the dispersion of COVID-19. This research additionally establishes that a green building analysis is markedly more effective when the analysis comprehensively covers the life process of a green building, the participating interest groups that have their own goals they wish to implement, the COVID-19 situation, and the external micro- and macro-level environments as a singular entity.

“…In many Low and Middle Income Countries (LMIC), especially in sub-Saharan Africa, there is grave concern that attention will be directed away from the prevention and control of other serious diseases such as malaria and dengue. In this issue, Tampe (2020) draws attention to the lack of resources to maintain HIV and TB control programmes in slums while French et al (2020) highlight some of the far reaching questions the pandemic poses for how we improve informal settlements. In LMICs the number of deaths directly attributable to COVID-19 could eventually be dwarfed by deaths due to indirect effects of the pandemic.…”

This editorial introduces the origin, purpose and scope of a Special Issue on COVID-19. It brings together 43 contributions from across the globe that examine the way in which COVID-19 has challenged the way we think about urban design, spatial planning and city governance. The editorial draws out a number of key messages from this body of work, highlighting how the impact of COVID-19 has been most devastating when combined with the existing vulnerabilities and chronic ill-health experienced in pre-pandemic cities. Following The Lancet, we, therefore, characterise this as a syndemic rather than pandemic, due to the way it interacts with existing urban NCDs. This provides further resolve to address long-standing urban health inequalities and challenges, while seeking more holistic ways of addressing these, for example through the Sustainable Development Goals. The editorial explains the role of our partners in the Special Issue (ISUH, Design Council and BOVA Network), draws out some of the themes from the collected papers, and finally highlights an agenda for future contributions to Cities & Health that will allow us to better understand and respond to the aftermath of the COVID-19 syndemic.
