What Next - What Next | Daily News and Analysis – TBD | What’s a City Without the Office?

Since March, white-collar offices in major cities across the United States have stood empty.

Guests:

John Capobianco, principal at IA Interior Architects

Hannah Hackathorn, principal at Unispace

Ellen Baer, BID president, Hudson Square
