Abstract

People start feeling more healthy as urban environment is now clearer than before. Everyone wants to stay safe, stay healthy and stay happy as well. Reduction in air pollution makes people to healthy and happy as well. COVID-19 pandemic is a matter of human health and safety. At the same time as people have to change their regular manners and patterns to control the virus impact, there have been seen some temporary positive effects on the environment as reduction in air pollutant found during the lockdown period. Afterward COVID-19 lockdown people advised for social distancing, being hygiene, work from home as long as possible, e-learning (study via internet) and some other work which can be done from home via e-services to maintain social distancing. It is the time to implement Sustainable Urban Planning Strategies, which can help in controlling the urban environment with current issues.

Keywords

Urban environment, Air pollution, COVID-19 pandemic, human health, social distancing, work from home, e-services, Sustainable Urban Planning Strategies.
