The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in dramatic changes in people’s mobility around the world. A growing body of studies have investigated how people’s mobility has changed during the COVID-19 pandemic, however, there has been little research on whether such changes will persist afterward or bounce back to the pre-pandemic situation. Thus, the present study aims to examine the changes in people’s mobility in Shenzhen, China during the COVID-19 pandemic and the post-pandemic era using 3-year mobile signaling data from 2019 to 2021. In particular, we will examine (a) how the frequency and distance of work trips have changed, (b) how the frequency and distance of non-work trips have changed during the weekdays, weekends and holidays, and (c) the differences in such changes between various socio-demographic groups. This study will provide important insights into the new potential demand for transport infrastructure construction and service provision and the new trend of urban mobility inequity. This information is important to help address mobility inequity and guide policy decisions on whether additional infrastructure extensions to reduce congestion on roads and crowding in public transport are needed during the post-pandemic era.
