Before this all happened, the trend was to "move back to the city," with "New Urbanists" preaching the benefits of high-density urban cores, where you'd live and work and play all in walkable or bikeable distance. Now, coronavirus is spreading fastest in those dense urban cores, like Manhattan. But this article suggests that once the pandemic is over, we'll all go back to the cities because that's better than sprawl, and, I don't know, it's good for culture and mass transit and stuff.
