At this event we heard how two years of Covid-19 have changed the way we live, work and play in the UK’s largest towns and cities, and how adaptations made throughout this period will shape the future of the economies in urban areas.
Reflecting on how the pandemic has affected trends in office space supply and demand, the housing market and retail sector, our panel discussed the extent to which city centres can expect to reach pre-pandemic visitor and worker levels, and explore what this means for long-term recovery in the UK’s largest cities and towns.
