The Intra-Covid Renaissance: Envisioning Resilient Urban Neighbour- 'Wood'

The focus of this study is on the influence of urban 'woods' on people's quality of life in disadvantaged neighbourhoods investigated via the lens of architecture in a Sub-Saharan metropolis. The new intra-Covid Urban Agenda acknowledges that current urban and state-wide resilience management plans, policies, and practices of neighbourhood are failing. While the architectural sector - tasked with enhancing people's quality of life, must promote more environmentally sustainable approaches to human-made surroundings, its design, and its management. The increasing attention on people's health and well-being in human-made surroundings, as the intra-covid renaissance of a new age unfolds, calls into question the role of society's environmental relationships. The study explicates ecologic, epidemiologic, and psychologic engaging scenarios. A city's environment redesigned as Eco-equitable Community Absorbent Spaces (ECaS) can foster neighbourhoods with economic, mental, and physical cohesion - that in part encourage habitat disaster risk reduction and the health of the citizenry, when inclusive of all stakeholders' ambition.
