Abstract

With a global population of 7.8 billion people and limited natural resources, humanity and society as a whole must learn to live in harmony. We must always act responsibly, with the realization that whatever we do today may have long-term consequences for people and the environment. ESD (Education for Sustainable Development) encourages people to think and act in ways that lead to a more sustainable future. As a result, the following issue arises: what are the educational practices for schooling in the Covid-19 period in sustainable cities? To address this issue, the following goal was set: to map the educational strategies of sustainable cities for education in the Covid-19 era, based on a bibliometric review. A bibliometric search in the Web of Science database was done to this goal. The educational strategy, according to the findings of the Covid-19 epidemic, is linked to the interdependencies between business, nature, society, economy, and education. These interconnectors may be found in the 17 SDGs, as well as a deeper environmental awareness, which can be accomplished by active methodology, such as establishing an issue that can be solved in the classroom, and employing problem solving as active and dynamic education.
