Great neighborhoods host a mix of uses in

order to provide for our daily need to live,

work, play, worship, dine, shop, and talk to

each other. Each neighborhood has a center, a

general middle area, and an edge.

 COMPACT

The 5-minute walk from center to edge, a basic rule-of-thumb

for walkability, equates to approximately 80 to 160 acres, or 9

to 18 city blocks. This general area includes public streets,

parks, and natural lands, as well as private blocks, spaces and

private buildings.

Due to their inherent need for a variety of land

private buildings such as residences, offices,

commercial buildings and mixed-use buildings.

COMMUNITY BUILDING AND
PLACEMAKING
COMMUNITY BUILDING
Community building is a field of practices
directed toward the creation or enhancement of
community between individuals within a
regional area (such as a neighbourhood) or with
a common interest. It is sometimes
encompassed under the field of community
development.
PLACEMAKING
Placemaking is an approach to urban design
that prioritizes people over infrastructure. It
aims to create public spaces that are more than
just utilitarian, but rather places that inspire and
promote social interaction and cultural
exchange.

Placemaking and Community Building in the
Post-Pandemic World
Placemaking

Is the practice of designing spaces

that reflect the priorities of the
community and foster a sense of
belonging and improve residents’
quality of life.
What is the impact of post-

pandemic in world?
The COVID-19 pandemic marked the year 2020 with one of
the biggest public health crises of all time, threatening to take
away millions of lives. It is already initiating a massive
economic crisis, triggering further negative consequences for
human life, well being and lifestyle.

Currently, the community are adapting to work with the “new

normal” was offered to the world after the shock of the
pandemic COVID19 while society didn’t plan this. The “new
normal” has caused the society to limit the used of public
spaces to the community like restaurants, schools, library civic
assets and etc… pandemic has highlighted the us that public
spaces are not available to communities in a way that reflects
their interest, needs and demands
Placemaking and community basic needs:
4 placemaking examples
that will gives strategic idea
on post-Covid world
Strategic placemaking for public spaces like park and other
recreational activities

As public spaces begin to reopen, those with greater social confidence

are returning with enthusiasm. However, it is important to acknowledge
that this group may not represent a fair and comprehensive sample of
society. Vulnerable cohorts continue to experience fear, as evidenced
by the emerging reports of heightened levels of social anxiety among
many individuals.
The list of possible design approach in the community:
● Move activities outside, away from confined space
● Provide multiple entrances and plan events to
minimise large group convergence
● Provide safe queueing marks (min 1.5m distance) at
public toilets, pick up points and shared facilities
● Provide social distances ‘dots’ on lawn spaces.
Smooth surfaces are a greater risk, lawn is rough. Up
your mowing routine to further reduce the already
low likelihood of transmission
● Invite communities to BYO camp seats, picnic rugs etc
at events and gatherings
● Provide safe spacings between market stalls and all
seating
● Provide loads of sanitiser, wipes and other cleaning
items
● Employ highly visible ‘sanitising’ staff to wipe smooth
surfaces during the activation/market/event - its not
just about doing, its about being seen doing
Strategic placemaking for streets
During the COVID-19 pandemic, cycling rates have increased significantly.
According to a recent study, approximately 90% of cyclists are reported as active
members in their communities this shows that 83% of services access takes 10
minutes of walking, 14% from 10 to 20 minutes, and 2.8% longer than 20 minutes.
Before COVID-19, 78% of respondents used their private cars to buy basic needs,
6.3% of respondents used Madinaty public transport, 1.8% respondents used
bikes, and 20.7% respondents just walked. During the pandemic, the percentage
of people who used private cars increased to 91.9%, public transport decreased to
4.5%, bikes increased to 3.5% and walking responses also decreased to 14.4%.
This positive trend may be attributed to the new normal that has emerged, which
promotes healthier lifestyles and reduces air pollution and noise levels within
communities.
The list of possible design approach in the community

● provides bike lanes in streets

● Provide bike parking area
● Provides Sideswalks that has 1.5m
social distancing sticker’
● Walkable area needs improvement
Strategic placemaking for public transportation

Public transportation is a fundamental

requirement for any community. However, due to the
current circumstances of the "new normal",
individuals are restricted in their ability to use public
transit, leading to discomfort and inconvenience for
members of the community.

the list of possible design approach in the

community:

● Improve road circulation

Architecture and Urban Design Critical to Helping Build
Communities Post-Corona
INTRODUCTION
Architecture and urban design have always played
pivotal roles in shaping the way we live, work, and
interact within our communities.

However, the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic has

magnified their significance even further.

In the wake of this global health crisis, these disciplines

have emerged as powerful tools for envisioning and
crafting resilient, health-focused, and socially cohesive
communities in the post-corona era.
1. Public Health-Centric
Design
Focuses on creating built environments that prioritize the
health and well-being of residents.
The High Line, New York City, USA
The High Line is a 1.45-mile-long (2.33-kilometer) linear park built on a disused
elevated railway track on Manhattan's West Side. It represents a prime example of
transforming underutilized urban infrastructure into a vibrant public space with a
strong emphasis on public health and well-being.

Key Features of Public Health-Centric Design:

Active Transportation
Greenery and Nature:
Social Spaces
Accessibility
Safety Measures
Promotion of Mental Health
2. Outdoor Spaces and Active Mobilit
Expanding and enhancing outdoor spaces, parks, and green areas
to allow for safe social interactions and physical activity.

Promoting walkability, cycling, and pedestrian-friendly urban

design to reduce reliance on public transportation.
Paris, France's "15-Minute
City"

Paris has embraced the concept of the "15-

Minute City" as a response to the COVID-19
pandemic and as part of its long-term urban
planning strategy. The idea behind this
concept is to transform the city into a place
where residents can access most of their
daily needs within a 15-minute walk or bike
ride from their homes.

Key Features:

Active Mobility
Car-Free Zones
Local Services
Green Spaces
Mixed-Use Development
3. Community Engagement
and Empowerment
Engaging local communities in the planning and design process
to ensure that developments align with their unique needs
and aspirations.
Fitzgerald Revitalization Project, Detroit, USA

The Fitzgerald Revitalization Project in

Detroit focuses on revitalizing a
blighted neighborhood through
community-led development.

Key Features:

Mixed-Income Housing
Community Engagement
Green Infrastructure
Enhanced Public Spaces
4. Transportation and
Mobility Solutions
Prioritizing sustainable transportation options like walking,
cycling, and efficient public transit.

Promoting compact and transit-oriented development to

reduce traffic congestion and pollution.
Cebu BRT (Bus Rapid Transit)

Cebu's BRT system aims to provide efficient

and sustainable public transportation,
reducing traffic congestion and emissions.

Key Features:

Dedicated Bus Lanes

BRT Stations
Cashless fare collection
Urban Redevelopment
5. Health and Sanitation
Innovations
Incorporating innovative solutions for sanitation, such as touchless
fixtures, UV disinfection, and sanitation stations in public spaces.
UV-C Disinfection
Systems
Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) disinfection systems are being
incorporated into HVAC systems, elevators, and
escalators to sanitize air and surfaces.
The primary goal of installing UVC lamps in
NYC subways is to kill or inactivate harmful
microorganisms, including viruses like the
coronavirus, on subway cars and other high-
touch surfaces.
Smart Toilets and
Restrooms
Smart toilets with touchless flushing, automatic seat
covers, and self-cleaning features in public restrooms.
A cylindrical, stainless-steel pod houses a public
restroom that's being tested in San Francisco's
Embarcadero Plaza. The bathroom is part of a
larger amenities upgrade in that city.
