Abstract This research explores how central-city shopping districts could be transformed to support a post-Covid lifestyle, where people re-embrace community, local streets and walking while relying more on online shopping. By reviewing metropolitan/city development plans since the 1980s and mapping changes of retail provisions, urban environment and pedestrian movements in Melbourne’s Hoddle Grid in the twenty-first century, this paper shows that planning policies focusing on people-centred experiences in the central-city shopping district helped to improve retail resilience. This paper thus adds insights to understanding the relentless retail landscape changes and has implications for central-city retail planning in the post-Covid era.

在后 Covid 时代规划有弹性的中心城市购物区：墨尔本 Hoddle Grid 的解释性案例研究

摘要 本研究探讨了如何改造中心城市购物区以支持后 Covid 生活方式，在这种生活方式中，人们重新拥抱社区、当地街道和步行，同时更多地依赖在线购物。通过回顾自 1980 年代以来的大都市/城市发展计划以及 21 世纪墨尔本 Hoddle Grid 零售规定、城市环境和行人活动的变化，本文表明，在中心城市以人为本的体验规划政策购物区有助于提高零售弹性。因此，本文为理解不断变化的零售格局提供了见解，并对后 Covid 时代的中心城市零售规划产生了影响。
