Remote work and the new geography of jobs in the EU: an opportunity for intermediary cities? - 11WS22339
Workshop
Territorial Cohesion
Information
The increase in remote work has sparked a debate on worker relocation further away from large urban areas. This prospect is particularly relevant to intermediary cities, which are considered a good compromise between access to urban services, quality of life and affordability. This panel will discuss the evidence on a new geography of jobs in EU regions, its consequences for city development and wellbeing, the policy responses in EU countries and the opportunities and challenges for intermediary cities.
