Highlights
• Global cities and their skyscrapers will be more important after Covid-19 despite an increase in remote working.
• Skyscrapers outside of global cities, in both the Global North and South, will be less important after Covid-19.
• Skyscraper demand in global cities will strengthen to facilitate in-person interactions in specialized high-value fields.
• Global cities will drive GDP more than before, attracting wealth and demand for luxury residential skyscrapers.
• The location and usage of any skyscraper matters more than its height or reasons for construction.
