Abstract
The disruption caused by the pandemic situation of Covid-19 redefined the way we interact with each other and particularly with the built environment. In a time of confinement at home and in the neighbourhood environment, the performance of activities in urban and dwelling environments demands a user-centred interaction design as a crucial tool to respond to people requirements. The interaction between users and the experienced built environment is a valuable source of information to support the field of environmental design. The pandemic period must be faced as an opportunity to develop urban space environments that better respond to users’ needs and expectation in a dynamic functional context. The present time emerges as an opportunity to change the planning paradigm that we all, researchers, professionals, and users must take advantage of. The planet and the environment will appreciate it.
