Abstract

In the advanced scientific world of information in the innovative medical knowledge age, the Covid-19 pandemic raised many questions of human existence at the dawn of the twenty first century. On top of it, countrywide lockdown to save humanity at the cost of a shrinking economy shattered the hope of survival of many. The paper is an attempt to find a flexible way forward for post Covid-19 city planning and management by analysing the impact of real time mobility data of Mumbai and Delhi. It also proposed the Integrated Spatial Hierarchical Emergency Functional System (ISHEFS) to integrate the horizontal and vertical functions of the city and various stakeholders/ government departments in a single platform for efficient and effective recovery from the future pandemic. It highlights the establishment of the ISHEF system at neighbourhood and city level and how it will provide for the collection and analysis of spatial and factual ground level information in order to establish a common ground to address the pandemic situation for effective governance and community empowerment. The ISHEF System provides the flexibility to take decisions on the ground by understanding and analysing the existing situations. Hence, the paper discusses the flexibility of the ISHEF System which enables the field team to observe and analyse the real time challenges of transforming objectives and methodology to suit to the real time field situations and to be able to act in the shorter period of time as fast as possible to provide the solutions. The present hierarchical model will demonstrate successful city solutions for building a flexible, rapid, efficient and effective resilient city.
