I'm of the view that things will balance out over the next few years. There'll be an increase in home working and hot desking and we'll see dormitory towns prosper and city centres fall back a bit. One solution for city centres might be to convert some office buildings to affordable accommodation.
I think we'll see long term travel reduction where the balance between business travel and Zoom type work will shift too, good for the environment as long as data centres are getting sustainable power
I've been looking with interest at my son's modus operandi to reach this conclusion. His job is utterly dependent on international networking, He will still travel a bit to establish and reinforce personal relationships, but more of his business will be done on-line for sure. He's been working from here, his flat in London and we rented a holiday let in Devon and he joined us there and worked more than half the time.
