Changes in people's movement and travel behaviour have been apparent in many places during the COVID-19 pandemic, with differences seen at a range of spatial scales. These changes, occurring as a result of the COVID-19 'natural experiment', have afforded us an opportunity to reimagine how we might move in our day-to-day travels, offering a hopeful glimpse of possibilities for future policy and planning around transport. The nature and scale of changes in movement and transport resulting from the pandemic have shown we can shift travel behaviour with strong policy responses, which is especially important in the concurrent climate change crisis.
在新冠疫情期间，许多地方人们的出行和旅行行为都发生了明显变化，在一系列空间尺度上都存在差异。这些因新冠疫情这一“自然实验”而产生的变化，为我们提供了一个重新构想日常出行方式的机会，让我们看到了围绕交通进行未来政策制定和规划的可能性，令人充满希望。疫情导致的出行和交通变化的性质和规模表明，我们可以通过强有力的政策应对来改变出行行为，这在当前的气候变化危机中尤为重要。
