Rediscovering the Outdoors and Rethinking Our Cities

摘要

The pandemic demanded we all do a lot of things differently. We sheltered in place. We kept our distance from those around us. We wore masks. We washed our hands repeatedly. We adjusted to working and learning from home.But it also did something else for a lot of people: it forced us outdoors again. Prior to the pandemic, it was widely reported that people spent roughly 90% of their time indoors. Now, we suspect that number is lower, as spending time in parks or going for a jog or a hike were the few things we could do safely that had the added benefit of preserving our sanity.
