Abstract
Changes in global urban planning practice brought about by COVID 19 will establish a new standard and focus on rethinking present and future urban planning. This pandemic, for example, is predicted to cause significant changes in urban life, notably the shift from traditional urban planning to healthy eco-city planning, often known as "inclusive planning." Since cities aim to live and move in harmony with environment and economic growth, urban space with a diversified ecological design would stimulate urban socializing while also ensuring separation for healthy living. As a result, by evaluating recent trends in urban planning practice with COVID-19, this research hopes to forecast the future course of urban planning from a healthy eco-city planning perspective. In a post-pandemic culture, urban open space should be designed with urban ecology in mind to foster urban socializing while having the least impact on public health. Songdo is one of the newest and fast-growing intelligent cities in South Korea. Songdo is regarded a better instance for the post-pandemic township in this study for assessing the challenges of urban communities, the balance between stable and healthy eco-city. This research uses ecology-based urban design to assess Songdo city planning in order to create urban public space with the goal of encouraging urban socializing in a healthy urban environment. Cities are shaped by the current pandemic; what if good eco-city design can build cities to better battle future pandemics? This study focuses on sound eco-cities to satisfy future demands in a post-pandemic metropolis. The eco-city principles to adapt to climate change are now more relevant to cities. The present worldwide pandemic provides us modern consideration of urban planning, which not only focuses on the environment and climate change but also needs public health to lead us to a new path in the post-pandemic urban planning society.
