Since the pandemic began, New York City has seen a greater decline in spending near the workplace compared to any other major U.S. city.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has urged private sector employees to return to their offices, and has mandated full-time in person work for city employees.
“At the same time, as the mayor has acknowledged, remote work is here to stay, and our city must have a real conversation on how that impacts the small businesses that have historically depended on the foot traffic from commercial districts,” said Fabien Levy, a spokesperson for Adams’ office said.
She predicted the borough would evolve to incorporate more housing in downtown areas and have a greater mix of residential and commercial uses, similar to arrangements found in Tokyo. “Remote work will be a permanent factor, but other activities will replenish the foot traffic and consumer spending,” Wylde said. “The challenge today is that the pandemic accelerated an Industrial Revolution from the service economy to the digital world. It will take a while for cities to catch up.”This story has been updated with comment from the mayor's office.Gwynne Hogan is a general assignment reporter who’s worked at WNYC and Gothamist since 2017.
