Shift to a Non-Linear World

In this episode, we host Dror Poleg, Economic Historian and award-winning author of Rethinking Real Estate. Dror is an insightful voice on the evolving intersection of technology, work, and urban environments. Hosted by Larry Deng, a student at the MIT Center for Real Estate, this episode offers a fascinating deep dive into the forces reshaping how we live, work, and build. Dror shares his perspective on the future of work based on historic reference and its profound implications for the design and function of cities. He explores how shifts in technology, corporate strategy, and individual preferences are impacting real estate and how cities themselves might physically transform in response. From the decentralization of office spaces to the growing demand for flexible, hybrid environments, Dror reveals the new opportunities and challenges facing developers, investors, and policymakers alike.
