As the pandemic ripped through New York City, much like in any other cities, most of the urban life has ceased to exist in a traditional way to which people were accustomed. As NYC’s urbanites are continuing to learn on the go on how to adapt to the new mode of living, urbanists, architects, and planners are rethinking how the city might need to change to survive and thrive in the post pandemic times.
