As remote work increasingly supplants the need for traditional offices, downtowns around the world are finding themselves with empty “ghost towers” once designed to symbolize corporate power. The author suggests that one solution for these unused spaces could be to convert them into incubation centers for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which would help to revitalize downtown areas while also giving these businesses access to centralized resources. However, the author argues that this will require a shift in thinking among city planners and policymakers, who must embrace the digital, remote work age and recognize the value of virtual productivity. This includes understanding the differences between “physicality of work” and “mentality of performance” and the ways in which this new approach could save national economies. The author calls for a national mobilization of entrepreneurialism and for governments to urgently support high-potential SMEs to quadruple manufacturing and exportability, stressing that failing to address these issues quickly could lead to major economic collapse.
