| Abstract | ||
| Since the early days of the COVID-19 epidemic, the scientific community has continuously been trying to shed light on various issues such as the mechanisms driving the spread of the virus, its environmental and socio-economic impacts, and required recovery and adaptation plans and policies. Given the high concentration of population and economic activities in cities, they are frequently spotted by COVID-19 infections. Changes in infectious disease transmission patterns are a likely major consequence of climate pollution. The population now lives in urban areas, we found a consistent negative association between urban green space exposure and mortality, heart rate, and violence, and positive association with wellbeing, attention, and physical activity. The built environment, natural and social environments have a significant effect on health and wellbeing. The design and construction of new communities provide an opportunity to explore neighborhood's' design and planning for human health. Neighborhood design can contribute to a sense of place and the health of residents by changing the ratios of the car lanes, pedestrian paths, cycle lanes, green spaces, and public spaces for people. | ||
