Sobre este episódio

During the Covid-19 health crisis, our approach to work underwent significant changes, largely thanks to the surge in remote work.

So it’s no real surprise that many people chose to flee the cities they were living in before. For example, forecasts from PWC in early 2021 suggested that London’s population was set to decrease by 300,000 that year, marking the first annual decline since 1988. What’s a meta city then?
