LUNA NEMECIO, Josemanuel  and  TOBON, Sergio. Sustainable and resilient urbanization to covid-19: new horizons for city research. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2021, vol.13, n.1, pp. 110-118.  Epub Feb 02, 2021. ISSN 2218-3620.

COVID-19 has exposed a series of economic, environmental, and social vulnerabilities as part of the exacerbation of the contradictions and conflicts that characterized daily urban life. This study proposes some general lines of research that must be taken up to redefine the academic study on the urban agenda and the definition of politics that aim to advance towards urban sustainability and resilience. The methodology was based on a qualitative documentary analysis that allowed the search, selection, and critical synthesis of scientific bibliography according to the research categories proposed. The results show three general lines of research that can be considered to investigate cities about the processes of sustainable urbanization and resilience to the socio-territorial effects of COVID-19. The study discusses how urban sustainability and resilience have been addressed by those proposals derived from smart cities and based on ecological urbanism, while it is necessary to rethink urban research towards the transition for urban sustainability and resilience.

Keywords : Environment; interdisciplinary research; social inequality; sustainable development; urbanization.
