On this week’s The Reflexive City, we take a look at the Zoom Town phenomenon and examine some of the innovations and policies that cities are enacting to attract remote working talent, like the $10,000 relocation bonus that Tulsa Remote offers. Matt and Maya are joined in the virtual studio by future work specialist and global native, Lauren Razavi.
