ABSTRACT
This research explores how central-city shopping districts could be transformed to support a post-Covid lifestyle, where people re-embrace community, local streets and walking while relying more on online shopping. By reviewing metropolitan/city development plans since the 1980s and mapping changes of retail provisions, urban environment and pedestrian movements in Melbourne's Hoddle Grid in the twenty-first century, this paper shows that planning policies focusing on people-centred experiences in the central-city shopping district helped to improve retail resilience. This paper thus adds insights to understanding the relentless retail landscape changes and has implications for central-city retail planning in the post-Covid era. © 2022 The Author(s).

ABSTRACT
Numerous nations are taking severe isolate strategies to forestall the fast spread of COVID-19 (Covid Disease 2019) around the globe, for example, city lockdown. Urban areas in China and Italy were secured down in the beginning phase of the pandemic. The current investigation expects to analyze and analyze the effect of COVID-19 lockdown on people's mental states in China and Pakistan. We also carried out a survey (a) of Weibo customers and Twitter customers (geo-area = Karachi, Pakistan);(2) to have the customer's distributed posts filled in a span of fourteen days, then after locking down in each location (e.g. the lock-down date for Karachi, Pakistan, was 23 January 2020);Our current research was conducted at Jinnah Hospital, Lahore from March 2020 to September 2020. Results demonstrated that people zeroed in additional on "home", furthermore, communicated a more elevated level of psychological cycle after a lockdown in both Lahore and Karachi. Then, the degree of stress diminished, and the consideration regarding relaxation expanded in Karachi after the lockdown. The regard for gathering, religion, and feelings turned out to be more common in Lahore after the lockdown. Discoveries give leaders ideal proof on open responses and the effects on mental states in the COVID-19 setting, and have suggestions for proof based mental wellbeing mediations in two nations.
