Volume 10. No. 3 . Fresh perspectives on the future of the office: A way forward
The debate about the future of the office has taken on a life of its own as a consequence of pandemic-induced lockdowns. The viability of the mass home or remote working experiment has opened up both challenges and opportunities — so much so that the traditional ecosystem of commercial property investment is under challenge, together with the viability of the traditional office from both the suppliers’ and users’ perspective, and even the future of city centres is being evaluated.

Authored with Dr Chris Diming, Dr Rob Harris, Chris Kane, Max Luff, George Muir, Dr Amanda Rischbieth, Euan Semple, Anna Todorova, Caroline Waters, OBE.

The insightful articles and translations have greatly enhanced our understanding of complex topics.
