Considering the general lack of housing and continuing rising prices combined with the WFH revolution, it would seem to me that we are reaching a paradigm shift in urban design and planning.
The smartest thing we could do now is repurpose old office spaces into housing, much like many old warehousing in cities like London and Hamburg were repurposed 30 years ago. It would massively increase the overall housing stock, and the continued WFH would reduce commuting, pollution and help countries better achieve their climate change carbon reduction targets.
