Abstract

The main targets of Sustainable Development (SDGs) are poverty alleviation, access to basic services such as clean water, energy and sustainable economic improvement. Increasing and achieving this target requires improved and guaranteed urban management that also reaches the economically vulnerable community. Another target is to remove service disparities, economic pressures, and environmental problems resulting from poor city governance. Urban development occurs horizontally or vertically. The arrival of the corona outbreak has changed the urban spatial structure, community life and the city transportation system. A decrease in the number of passengers, reduced public activity results in a decrease in public transportation services, albeit for a non-permanent period. It has contributed to improving the quality of surface water, air and the environment. The positive effect of the corona outbreak can also be felt in a clean way of life, which is the main requirement in eradicating the coronavirus. In addition, the impact of the corona outbreak can be felt in the field of education, where various education and development activities have to be eliminated, and distance education with all its limitations must be implemented immediately. It is worrying that a gap will appear between conventional and digital style education at the latest five years. Keywords: Corona outbreak, Sustainable Development and Cities and Settlements
