The Future of the High-brid Street

This paper, commissioned by flexible office-space provider IWG plc, explores the ever-shifting relationship between how and where people work, and its impact on the local communities where they live.

From the rise of the centralised office to the acceleration of hybrid working in the post COVID-19 era, it considers the challenges, opportunities and success factors facing our towns, suburbs and villages as they seek to build and protect thriving communities around their centres and High Streets.

As changing work patterns reduce the dominance of the daily commute, is now the moment for such communities to throw off the ‘dormitory’ tag and create a more sustainable and dynamic future for themselves?
