Summary: This research investigates the impact of lockdown policy and public transit system on mobility and health disparities within a city, using New York City as a case study. The study reveals the uneven effects of lockdown policy and public transit system on local pandemic outcomes, with areas where people spend more time at home having lower infection and death rates, and areas with a higher density of transit stations having higher infection and death rates. The study also highlights the importance of residential profile, with areas having a higher concentration of disadvantaged populations experiencing higher infection and death rates. Through the lens of mobility, this research contributes to the understanding of health disparities by analyzing institutional causes and the role of government intervention policy and public transit system.

Summary: The study observes significant decreases in travel times under epidemic conditions, which are similar regardless of age group and gender. The reduction in time depends on factors such as travel purposes, means of transport, household size, fear of coronavirus, main occupation, and changes caused by the epidemic. Respondents who were more afraid of coronavirus tended to shorten their travel times more.

Summary: This study uses data on human mobility from mobile applications to examine activity patterns in the neighborhoods of Greater London during the summer of 2020 as the first wave of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions were lifted. The research analyzes how the lockdown guidelines have revealed the socio-spatial fragmentation between urban communities. The findings suggest that activities in deprived areas with minority groups declined less compared to the overall average for Greater London, leaving those communities more exposed to the virus. In contrast, activity levels declined more in affluent areas dominated by white-collar jobs. Furthermore, the closure of non-essential stores resulted in greater declines in premium shopping destinations and less in suburban high streets.

Summary: Remote physical exercise interventions during the first Covid-19 lockdown helped maintain function, physical activities, basic mobility, and frailty status in pre-disabled seniors. Further studies are needed to identify parameters of remote exercise programs that can improve daily function and mobility in this population.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted cities, with a strong association found between socioeconomic status and both disease incidence and mortality. People in lower socioeconomic municipalities were less likely to adhere to lockdown measures and faced higher testing delays and positivity rates. This highlights the critical consequences of socioeconomic inequalities on health outcomes.

Summary: During the COVID-19 lockdown in India, significant decreases in PM2.5, PM10, NH3, CO, NO2, and SO2 concentrations were observed in Delhi and Mumbai, while O3 concentration increased slightly. However, the lockdown did not lead to long-term improvement in air quality according to the National Air Quality Index.

Summary: South Africa responded swiftly to the COVID-19 outbreak, with residents reducing their mobility significantly in compliance with the government's lockdown orders. These mobility reductions were found to be negatively correlated with COVID-19 growth rates two weeks later.

Summary: Research shows that during the COVID-19 lockdown, reduced human mobility in the Italian Alps allowed brown bears to approach road network hot spots more frequently, leading to an expansion of their suitable habitat range beyond the core area.

Summary: During the COVID-19 lockdown in the Greater London Area, population exposure to NO2 significantly decreased by 52.3% +/- 6.1%, while exposure to PM2.5 showed a smaller reduction of 15.7% +/- 4.1%. Changes in population activity had the strongest influence on exposure levels during morning rush hours, leading to a significant decrease in exposure at 08:00 am. Additionally, the impacts of air pollution exposure varied across different socioeconomic status groups, with a disproportionate positive effect on economically deprived communities in the city.

Summary: Analyzing the impact of lockdown policies based on ID number and gender in Colombian cities on urban mobility, it was found that the restrictiveness of cities' mobility quotas did not correlate with mobility reduction. Instead, larger, wealthier cities with more formalized industrial structure experienced greater reductions in mobility. Wealthier residents and commuters are more likely to reduce mobility, especially when their work is located in wealthy or commercially/industrially formalized neighborhoods.

Summary: This paper investigates the impact of COVID-19 on travel behavior among young adults in Greece. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 306 young adults (aged 18-34) living in various Greek cities. The survey collected information about travel preferences before, during, and after the 1st and 2nd lockdowns of the pandemic. The data were analyzed descriptively and through statistical modeling techniques. The study found a significant decrease in public transport use and an increase in walking frequency due to the pandemic, with the changes in walking closely linked to the city's attributes.

Summary: In 2020, governments worldwide implemented nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) to contain the spread of COVID-19. We analyze the effect of community quarantines on urban mobility in the Philippines using cellphone-based origin-destination data. The study shows that mobility dropped to 26% of the pre-lockdown level in the first month of lockdown and recovered to 70% in August and September. We also find that the impact of lockdowns on mobility varies depending on the employment composition of the city.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased emotional distress and potential changes in dietary behavior. This study examines the impact of emotional self-efficacy on dietary behavior and quality during the first lockdown. The findings suggest that emotional self-efficacy is negatively associated with socioeconomic status and mediates the relationship between socioeconomic status and dietary quality.

Summary: Counties with higher levels of social deprivation experienced greater growth in SARS-CoV-2 cases and deaths, but had lower rates of mobility reduction. This suggests that economically disadvantaged communities are more susceptible to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 led to lockdowns worldwide, but these measures have significant negative impacts on public health that may outweigh the benefits. Evaluating and adjusting response strategies is crucial for the well-being of populations.

Summary: Effective, efficient and equitable policing in urban areas requires understanding of crime demand and resource deployment, exploring their association using big data and AI. The research finds varying and time-sensitive relationships between policing demand and deployment with urban environment features, and studies the complexities in policing demands. These findings open new avenues for urban criminological research on the interplay between policing demand and deployment.

Summary: The daily rhythms of a city influence crime patterns, with the key being to identify the population denominator for specific crime types. This paper introduces the concept of an exposed population-at-risk to determine the risk population for violent crime in public spaces associated with the night-time economy.
