Abstract

It is unclear how the COVID-19 pandemic will affect the design, use, and perception of public spaces in the future. The meaning and use of public spaces designed to bring individuals together is changing and transforming. This study seeks answers to the following questions: How will it change our relationship with public space? How long will we endure this change and transformation? Is the COVID-19 pandemic diverting our attention from climate change and sustainability? The aim of this chapter is to read these research questions and ideas about how the relationship of the COVID-19 pandemic with public space will change and transform through the social sustainability feature of public space. The study focused on the relationship between these 11 dimensions of social sustainability and public spaces. The dimensions determined in this framework are accessibility, security, comfort, readability, social cohesion, quality of life, sense of belonging, inclusiveness, social opportunities, public services, diversity.
