This problem is a UK government area of research interest (ARI) that was originally posted at https://ari.org.uk/ by a UK government organisation to indicate that they are keen to see research related to this area.
What does the evidence show about how the pandemic has affected people’s preferences about where they live and where they are able to work (e.g. rural areas versus cities)? How are these preferences different across cohorts, such as socio-economic, and locations? Are any such trends likely to be long-term?
The questions that will help us to grow our understanding to support the recovery from the pandemic, and to inform the medium and long term strategy for ‘living with COVID’, in areas relevant to DLUHC responsibilities.
