Housing, Infrastructure and Placemaking in a Post-Covid World: Silicon Valley has been a key hub of innovation and change for decades. Covid and remote work will bring changes to Silicon Valley, but investment in strong cities and infrastructure will play a key role in how we work, live and play and help us come back stronger, happier, and healthier after the pandemic.
