Abstract

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the built environment impacted the health and safety of the population. In Brazil, the pandemic impacted the ways of life of families, through housing and neighbourhood designs. This research identified built environment design factors that impacted life during the pandemic. A Systematic Literature Review was carried out to evaluate the impacts of the pandemic on the built environment and identify recommendations and actions to reduce those impacts. As a result, we recommend changes to the built environment and especially housing. Improvements are pointed out to ensure the well-being of dwellers, in present and future scenarios.
