London and New York share thought leadership forecasting how the nature of the office will change after the disruption and radical shifts 2020 has brought about. What will the office look like and how will it be used in the future? How will the workplace adapt to changes in the economy and public life of commercial districts? Will global financial centres see their office stock move to more locally relevant uses?

This webinar formed a part of the NLA City Dialogues programme, which brings together speakers and audiences to foster cross-city dialogue and learning between cities.
