Session Description:
This panel showcases how the concept of work is changing and what this means for commercial real estate. Looking at all available research, this panel helps the audience better understand how new technologies, future innovations, systemic changes in demand, and mobility will come together to influence how our cities will look in the years to come. How has remote work ultimately changed the purpose and function of our workspaces? How will the geographic mobility of workers, who can move to different regions and cities in search of lower costs of living, higher quality of life, and more opportunities change the established markets in real estate? How will the advancement in technology affect the use of workplaces in the future? What will the downtown of our cities look like in 2030?
