Working from home (remote working, teleworking) is of course a key development in the geography of work since the pandemic. Among the manifold implications of that crisis for workers, firms and regions, two developments stand out: the technological improvements, and institutional developments within organizations. Smart technologies can now lead to an “optional office”. The post-pandemic increase in working from home can then substantially level the existing unequal spatial distribution of opportunity and development.
