Hybrid working is helping to create the foundation of a more sustainable future.
The future of work will revolve around the 15 Minute City. A place where work, home shops, entertainment, education and healthcare are all available, by foot or bicycle within the same time a commuter might once have to have waited on a train platform.
IWG will showcase how your retail precinct can benefit from this global trend.
