Abstract

The effects of Covid-19 on the social lives of city dwellers - being able to go to the pub, restaurants and theatre - may be more relevant for the future of cities than its impact on work. That's the implication of a thought experiment by Gabriel Ahlfeldt, Fabian Bald, Duncan Roth and Tobias Seidel.
