John Laurenson reports from Paris on how Europe's biggest business district is turning vacant office space into housing. We compare that with efforts in London and Washington DC.
John Laurenson reports from La D茅fense in Paris on how Europe's biggest business district is turning vacant office space into housing. As hybrid working leaves more offices underused, cities are rethinking the future of these buildings. We compare developments in Paris with efforts in London and Washington DC and ask whether converting offices into homes could help tackle housing shortages and revive struggling business districts.
