Well, it gives me no pleasure to say “I told you so”. The Guardian’s Media Editor, in an X post seen by nearly a million people broke the story that the 200 year old titan of newsprint The London Evening Standard will start to consult on becoming weekly at best in print.

When I wrote the Nowhere Office and my latest book WorkingAssumptions (which The Evening Standard ran an extract from), I made clear that the flexible work genie was out of the bottle. That office space would never be the same again and that only cities which pivot to ensuring their central business districts house residential and work-to-live spaces would thrive in this new digital hybrid work era.

What has Australia got to do with this?.
