description During the Corona pandemic, extensive interventions have been introduced to limit the spread of Covid-19. Authorities, companies, and organisations introduce comprehensive restrictions. To capture new routines, we launched a web questionnaire (PPGIS) including maps in three cities in Sweden; Stockholm, Uppsala and Gothenburg. From the first month results, we see dramatic changes of habits. Places still used are primarily where people find service, while places people avoid are where they normally work or study. Places used more, are where people find seclusion; primarily green spaces and easy to access. This pandemic reinforces existing urban inequalities. Access to urban resources and green spaces becomes even more important in areas characterized by poverty and overcrowding.
