This document discusses how work is changing from traditional office settings to more flexible "anywhere" work arrangements. It notes that while most jobs are still located near public transit, less than a quarter are actually within walking distance. Many employers are moving to hybrid models that allow working from home some days. This raises questions about what will happen to traditional downtown office districts as work becomes more distributed and mobile. New shared workspaces like WeWork are also discussed as alternatives that provide community for distributed teams. The document considers how cities may need to adapt buildings and plan transit differently to respond to these changing work patterns.
