Yes, cities can survive permanent work from home

This position holds that cities will adapt to permanent remote work as they adapted to earlier changes in how people work, with office space converted to other uses and centres reorganised around the people who live in them rather than those who commute.

  1. Cities were never held together by the office alone
  2. Office space can be converted, and residents support a centre more steadily than commuters
