The Future of Cities

What is the Future of Cities? The COVID-19 pandemic has altered how businesses operate and interact with their customers. Some residents that were able to work remotely moved, even if only temporarily, away from dense urban centers to the suburbs or parts of the country less affected by the virus. Now, the big question is if cities will regain their pre-pandemic status as hubs for innovation and economic productivity, if they can continue to thrive on the benefits or agglomeration, or if the world has permanently shifted to a new equilibrium.

By attending this webcast, you will:

  • Explore how working from home has impacted the workplace and affected residential locations
  • Assess how commercial real estate will likely perform in a post-COVID world
  • Discover the ways in which transportation and the use of infrastructure assets in urban areas have been altered
  • Identify some of the key success factors for businesses challenged by this new reality

Who should attend:

  • C-suite executives and their reports
  • Academics
  • Economists
