Envisioning a post-pandemic world

The pandemic has persisted far longer and had a far deeper impact than expected at the outset. As it has endured, it has accelerated trends that were already underway before the virus struck. In most economies it has embedded a widespread use of digital commerce, in some older cities throwing into question the relevance and viability of bricks and mortar retail, offices and entertainment spaces. After the pandemic has passed which of the virus-propelled trends will stick— has the practice of the office commute finally died and will people still eschew shops and malls? How might any legacy differ between Asia and the West?
