Throughout history cities have brought people together to trade, learn and to have fun. However, the Covid-19 pandemic and technological advances could be changing this forever.

As the long-term impact of Covid-19 becomes clearer and the nature of work changes to adapt to it cities must change too. This will have implications for the economy, working and social life, infrastructure, planning and design.

At this event, we explored the potential long-term impact of working from home and what it could mean for how we run, plan and think about our cities.

Speakers:

• Jessica Bowles, Director of Strategic Partnerships and Impact, Bruntwood
• Dave Brittain, Business Development Director, Amazon Fashion Europe
• Bill Page, Head of Real Estate Markets Research. LGIM Real Assets

The event was chaired by Andrew Carter, Chief Executive at Centre for Cities
