The epidemic of COVID-19 is a public health emergency of international concern. China cities have taken many measures to control the outbreak, which are timely and effective, but the problem and weaknesses in the urban planning stage have emerged. At the urban level, a comprehensive disaster prevention planning for the dual situations of normality and epidemic should be concerned. At the community level, the necessary improved facilities, the reasonable form, optimized spatial structure can support to construct a resilient community. At the architectural level, it is necessary to conceive the variation of residential buildings and the flexibility of living space to respond to the changes in daily lives in the Post-epidemic Era.
