Adjiedj Bakas

Trendwatcher

In many ways the 2020s are a reprise of the 1920s. In that era garden cities emerged, where people could live in green environments, with gardens, large terraces, parks etc. The same is expected in the post-corona era. Reurbanisation will be major, large cities will shrink, many citizens migrate to rural regions where they can live, work from home part-time or full-time and where they anticipate living from lockdown to lockdown in a century of pandemics and social unrest. Small electric planes will enhance reurbanisation. Factories return from China: reshoring. And multi-generational homes will become trendy. Also communities of friends (= family, families of friends) can live together in order to beat loneliness.
