I don't think urbanism has been affected that much.
In my neck of the woods (SE Florida) urbanism didn't lose a beat. Rental apartments in my neighborhood are leasing at above asking. There were a few months where the city felt abandoned, property values were down, and leases were offering signing bonuses.
It's done a 180, or 360 now, city property values are climbing. New construction is way up, even with the high cost of labor and material, and shops and bars are working with the new normal. My city has taken advantage of decreased traffic to institute popular pedestrian projects that were unpopular to commuters.
- dv_dt 5y agoThe opposite happened in some Southern California areas. Some popular restaurant streets were closed to car traffic, and the restaurants added outdoor eating spaces. This happened in Santa Barbara and Ventura. It looks like the areas are at least considering keeping that change even post covid. Anyone living near those areas had an improved walkable neighborhood. Also I don’t think anyone living near a park lost use of those parks.
