Abstract
This paper investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on human mobility patterns, focusing on both the spatial (daily travelled distance) and temporal (synchronization of commuting routines) dimensions. Using location-based data from mobile phone users in the UK, the study reveals that lockdowns led to decreased spatial mobility and asynchronous mobility dynamics. Post-lockdown recovery was faster for spatial mobility than temporal mobility, with variations observed across urbanization levels and economic stratification.
