Organized by

HKIE Civil Division

Programme Highlight

In just a few months COVID-19 has changed how and where we work, forcing different and flexible ways of working. As we start to settle into a new normal, we look at the short and long-term trends and developments that will impact the kind of workplaces we will inhabit in a post-pandemic world, not to mention the opportunities these present. We look at some of the arising themes and thinking from our Foresight and Property teams around the world. Each region is emerging with a fresh set of experiences and insight around what impact this is likely to have on us all. In this webinar, Yannick Lenormand, Arup’s East Asia Foresight leader, will be presenting his perspective from the region.

Fee

Free of Charge.
