The pandemic has accelerated many aspects of change to our personal and working lives. But what does this mean for the towns and cities we live and work in?
In our latest report, we look at the impact of the pandemic on England’s towns and cities.
What’s clear is that things won’t return to the way they were. COVID-19 has accelerated the move of consumers away from the high street to online retail.

Our research provides an insight on which locations are likely to fare best and which will need greater investment to attract people and businesses.
