From Bali to Brussels: Remote Work Is Reshaping Europe’s Regions
As digital nomads rethink where to live, researchers are exploring whether their choices can help close Europe’s urban–rural divide. New research suggests the shift to remote working could support rural regions, but only where infrastructure and policy align.
