Abstract
Beginning in early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic sweeps across the globe. Despite the full lockdowns are being released deliberately and gradually in most parts of the world, social distancing is still needed in short-term and medium-term to mitigate the spread of coronavirus. These disruptive changes of life and work landscape bring the needs to reset the way how we use our cities and the opportunities to reshape the way how we manage our cities, which directly impact on the wellbeing during the post-pandemic period. For previous developed smart cities, it remains to be checked whether the historical data and the existing solutions during pre-pandemic still works in the post-pandemic situations. Faced with the post-pandemic situation that we have never seen before, the effectiveness of developed smart city solutions along with the applicability of adopted historical data must be re-evaluated and re-verified timely. This paper aims at providing a start point of enabling a future of resilient cities from the pre-pandemic to post-pandemic. Firstly, behaviour changes will be discussed. Then, the framework of the bidirectional interaction between human and cities will be established in this paper, and the mitigation measures based on digital innovation will be further provided that could guarantee the smart cities from the insufficient post-pandemic data. Future works and challenges will also be discussed. With the pervasive digital transformation of cities, the possibility of creating a more robust and smart resilient city is provided to maximally unleash the value of data, historical or recent, under a people-focused view.
