Upgrade fading offices or convert them to residential in the age of Covid / WFH?
- lifeisstillgood 6y agoI struggle to see how we cannot convert to mixed use - even before covid I would look in wonder at giant towers being thrown up in the City of London and think who on earth will be using then in ten years time? We have always accepted it but most city "centres" are hugely discriminated towards adults of working age - just walk around and count the ratio of kids and mothers. I remember a photo innLondon zoo of the first exhibit of some gorilla in the early 1900s - it was a sea of men wearing hats. We have reduced the list of people not "allowed out" and let women and children out a bit but we have still got a long way to go to have "walkable communities". We need better balance -
