Australia risks "sleepwalking into a long-term loss of productivity" unless workers return to the office in greater numbers, one of the world's foremost experts on cities has warned.
Professor Greg Clark, who has advised more than 300 cities in 40 countries, told News Breakfast that Australia and the United States are the laggards when it comes to returning to the office post-lockdowns.
Professor Clark has been tracking 150 cities since COVID began, and has found that in much of South-East Asia, India, the Middle East, Africa and Central and South America more people are working in the office now than were pre-pandemic.
