Assessment of the proximity to the Urban Green Zones of the city of Zaragoza as a strategy for adaptation to pandemic situations

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has generated a change in the urban paradigm, leaving evidence of the need to plan and redesign cities under the concepts of "caring city" and "healthy city", in order to adapt and make them resilient to the new post pandemic reality. To support this idea, this document studies -by means of a questionnaire- the assessment that the citizens of the city of Zaragoza make of their urban green areas before, during and after confinement, as key public spaces for the development of urban life and support in the planning processes of the "healthy city" by allowing the maintenance of the minimum social distance of safety and promoting the health and physical and mental well-being of the population.
