Abstract: The article presents the results of a study aimed at determining the impact of the pandemic on the everyday spatial behavior of Warsaw residents. This impact turned out to be substantial and it can be assumed that the observed changes will be permanent. The popularity of active mobility has increased and residents more often use services close to their place of residence. This proves that the implementation of the concept of sustainable urban mobility and a “15-minute” city based on a network of local centers can be a scenario for shaping the functional and spatial structure of the city.

Key words: daily mobility, COVID-19, 15-minute city, sustainable urban mobility, Warsaw, urban sustainability

Abstract: This article examines potential impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on key aspects of urban development: the functioning of individuals in physical sense (human bodies) in a city, urban morphology and landuse, urban mobility, as well as economic activities and service provision. The goal is to answer the question on how and to what extent the pandemic might reshape the cities and what the potential post-pandemic urban scenarios are. The analysed urban phenomena are projected against major dichotomy of urban ghettos vs. urban commons. The former is defined as further social segregation and spatial isolation, whereas the latter is based on multiple ideas inspired by the original definition of a city by Lewis Mumford. The article is concluded with two basic, symbolic, and opposite scenarios highlighting the fact that the pandemic might have opened a window of opportunity for cities to rethink their development pathways and reinvent their cultural, as well as socio-economic role.

Key words: Urban development, urban sustainability, pandemic, COVID-19, commons
