  COVID-19 is the first pandemic of the modern world causing significant
changes to the everyday life of billions of people in all continents. To reduce
its expansion, most governments decided to mitigate a great percentage of daily
movements of their citizens. For instance, they enforced strict controls (in
space, time, etc.) on urban movement whereas they selectively prohibited
international air and ground connections. In this short study, we briefly
discuss some lessons learned out of this process based on recorded mobility
figures, and we raise challenges that are emerging in the post-pandemic era, in
the intersection of the sustainable urban mobility and movement data science
fields.
