Cities after COVID-19 Pandemic
• People often moved to cities after pandemics because of the
better job opportunities and the higher wages they offered
• Some may trade their city apartments for a house with a backyard
• Fear of density, cafes, bars, restaurants, sports, music events and
subways and trains
• Human interactions will create more fear than joy, and some service
jobs will vanish.
• Accelerating digitalization of retail, the move to a cashless
economy, the shift to remote work and virtual delivery of services
• Exposing the quality of governance and scale of inequalities in our
global cities

participatory and inclusive ways.
Goal 17: Partnerships For The Goals
The goals aim to enhance North-South and
South-South cooperation by supporting national
plans to achieve all the targets. Promoting
international trade and helping developing

achieving a universal rules-based and equitable
trading system that is fair and open and benefits

Building 3 Types Of Cities
1. ROI-driven
• the aim of rolling out smart city technologies is to generate
income which pays for its deployment and more.
2. Carbon-driven
• The aim here is to reduce the carbon footprint and ideally
become carbon neutral long-term.
3. Vanity-driven
• Finally, “vanity” driven cities are mainly driven by events
where the entire world is watching, and they want to be
perceived as “modern”
