    The COVID sprint is over and the marathon is here. After five months of living and working in a pandemic world, it’s essential to understand how this experience may influence our priorities and decision-making around housing, communities, and the workplace moving forward. While we have no crystal ball, data, scientific guidelines, and behavioral changes can provide clues to what a safe, inclusive and nurturing environment could and should entail. Our panel brings together leaders in the fields of development, housing trends, and behavioral research to explore and discuss the economic and social drivers shaping the future of our industry and cities. James Chung of Reach Advisors will share some of the latest data on shifts in real estate demand, and consumer research on shifts in how people want to live and work.
