Description
How does home-based work change our cities and urban labour markets? Lessons from the last five years.

By changing where work is done, home-based work is reshaping urban economies. This inaugural lecture will look at the current state of evidence on how home-based work is changing our cities by affecting retail and hospitality sectors, housing markets, and even criminal activity.
Drinks and snacks will be available after the lecture from 6.30 - 7.30.
