CUREM – Center for Urban & Real Estate Management

Online panel: the triumph of the countryside?, 17th of June 2020

Presentation slides (PDF, 3 MB)

Topic

After discussing the short-term effects of corona on the real estate industry and its mid-term effects on economies we moved on to a larger scale with a third and last online panel.

On Wednesday, 17th of June 2020 we discussed with international as well as national experts what the future holds for cities and regional developments after the immediate effects of coronavirus have passed:

  • Will corona accelerate certain trends in cities and rural regions?
  • What are the psychological differences between real and online interactions?
  • Current mobility trends: what stays and what goes.
  • How we work: will there be a long-term shift towards more home office and if so, how will this affect our cities?
  • Will our homes become more important? Can we recognize changing patterns in people looking for a new home?
