A Borderless World
Listen now
Description
With the COVID-19 lockdowns forcing people to stay in their homes and, if possible, not go into the office, businesses have adapted, and remote work has boomed. Remote work tools have been available for years, but companies and individuals have realised that the office is less critical while on lockdown. With workers no longer having to go into the office and restaurants, bars and entertainment either closed or heavily restricted, what is the benefit to living in the city? There has been a growing exodus from major cities during the pandemic, but the coronavirus restrictions are not the only reason. Many in the US have moved to other states or even countries, to benefit from preferred business regulations or tax rates. In A Borderless World, we find out what is behind this exodus from major cities, how accessible global migration will change the way we live and what cities of the future will look like. - - - - - Show notes and transcription: DEF076 - Show Notes - - - - - Timestamps:Coming soon… - - - - - The success of Defiance will be largely down to the support of you, the listener.
