Partner Content: Will cities re-invent themselves after the pandemic?

If this shift away from city living gathers momentum longer term, it could have a marked impact on economies, financial markets and the future of large cities. "From an investment perspective, we need to determine how durable these changes are, how they could affect consumer spending patterns and how companies may respond," Capital Group economist Jared Franz says.
