How did Covid lead to the emergence of meta cities?

Audio

Description

During the Covid-19 health crisis, our approach to work underwent significant changes, largely thanks to the surge in remote work. This shift allowed people to reassess their priorities and determine where they genuinely wanted to live. Dreary lockdown periods also led to heightened awareness of our anxieties and life choices. So it’s no real surprise that many people chose to flee the cities they were living in before. For example, forecasts from PWC in early 2021 suggested that London’s population was set to decrease by 300,000 that year, marking the first annual decline since 1988. What’s a meta city then?
