The end of the office, the end of the university campus, the death of the city. The past months of pandemic doom and gloom have witnessed many dire predictions. A common theme has been that our new-found, battle-hardened ability to live and work remotely will render physical space obsolete. Yet, after countless lockdowns, quarantines and Zoom sessions, I would put forward an opposite proposition: embracing and reimagining the space of our cities will soon be more powerful and more necessary than ever before.
