Kleinschroth and Kowarik discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the vital importance of urban greenspaces as an essential quality-of-life element in sustainable cities. While visual access to greenspace alone can be beneficial, they focus on the physical use of urban greenspace. They hypothesized that during the COVID-19 lockdowns, short-distance outdoor activities were likely to be even more popular than before the pandemic because of the perceived constraints of the various stay-at-home orders and lockdowns. The acute COVID-19 crisis underscores the importance of preserving and further developing urban green infrastructure. Many people have suggested that the world will be fundamentally changed by the experience of the crisis; we urge that expanded development of urban greenspaces be part of that change.
