Thought provoking question, Magnus.
Economic growth, with private profit and community services delivered, may not necessarily depend upon extravagant growth in material consumption - including growth in floor area. Doing more with less, being ‘smaller and smarter’, as mentioned in article. If business can be conducted effectively via digital means, as virus response has shown, this may still enable profit, with less cost of office space, less embodied and operational carbon, less resource extraction and less waste.
