“…This can now probably be extended to all kinds of new relocalised centres across the city, such as industrial estates, permaculture villages, rural and remote villages, where value can be created by this cluster of technologies, and private sector funding can, therefore, be set up in partnerships to enable the value to be created. The more local value can be added by local communities, the more long-term value will be created [165].…”

COVID, CITIES and CLIMATE: Historical Precedents and Potential Transitions for the New Economy

The 2020 collapse of the global economy due to the Covid-19 pandemic has enabled us to think about long term trends and what the future could hold for our cities and regions, especially due to the climate agenda. The paper sets out the historical precedents for economic transitions after collapses that unleash new technologically based innovation waves. These are shown to be associated with different energy and infrastructure priorities and their transport and resulting urban forms. The new technologies in the past were emerging but mainstreamed as the new economy was built on new investments. The paper suggests that the new economy, for the next 30 years, is likely to be driven by the Paris Agreement and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agendas (summarised as zero carbon–zero poverty) and will have a strong base in a cluster of innovative technologies: renewable energy, electromobility, smart cities, hydrogen-based industry, circular economy technologies, and biophilic urbanism. The first three are well underway, and the other three will need interventions if not cultural changes and may miss being mainstreamed in this recovery but could still play a minor role in the new economy. The resulting urban transformations are likely to build on Covid-19 through “global localism” and could lead to five new features: (1) relocalised centres with distributed infrastructure, (2) tailored innovations in each urban fabric, (3) less car dependence, (4) symbiotic partnerships for funding, and (5) rewritten manuals for urban professionals. This period needs human creativity to play a role in revitalising the human dimension of cities. The next wave following this may be more about regenerative development.

“…With strong community support of zero carbon-zero poverty development, it is likely to be much more feasible. Shared economy demonstrations with symbiotic partnerships are growing in number, and most are based around zero carbon-zero poverty values [165,168].…”

“…personability, ability, performance, integrity, transparency, achievements, or history). Trust, a scarce resource, is identified as a key driver of the sharing economy [97,98] and a key enabler of transactions in ICT-mediated business models [39,40]. Trust is particularly important in twosided markets [20,99] in the sharing economy, where the platform facilitates an exchange between a resource owner and resource user.…”

“…Some authors argue that the sharing economy contributes to social justice [55,98,137], but more research is needed to operationalise the concept in the context of the sharing economy and to describe the specific mechanisms that may enhance social justice. The term relates to PLOS ONE issues of equity, defined by Young [138] as ".…”

“….the extent that individuals, families, and communities are able to fully participate in society and control their own destinies, taking into account a variety of factors related to economic resources, employment, health, education, housing, recreation, culture, and civic engagement" [166]. While literature suggests the sharing economy may foster social inclusion as an outcome [7,98,167], the processes by which this takes place are underexplored.…”
