Abstract

ABSTRACT The Covid-19 pandemic has rapidly altered the habits and lifestyles of every citizen worldwide and will have effects in the medium to long terms. The need for ‘social distancing’ has negatively affected urban areas and encouraged a rescheduling of working methods. Knowledge-intensive activities have been massively undertaken on a large scale in remote working, mainly carried out at home. Within this context, the paper explores the changes in working modalities towards remote working by focusing on the Lombardy region in north-west Italy. Specifically, it explores the renewed suitability of the municipalities outside the regional capital city of Milan with regard to remote workers during the pandemic and compares it with the period before the pandemic, and also it analyses which determinants play a role. The results show that municipalities closer to Milan with a strong broadband connection, a high concentration of knowledge workers and foreign immigrants are more suitable for hosting remote workers.

在新冠肺炎大流行期间,谁是失败者和赢家?郊区远程工作的兴起
摘要新冠肺炎大流行迅速改变了世界各地每个公民的习惯和生活方式,并将在中长期产生影响。“保持社交距离”的必要性对城市地区产生了负面影响,并鼓励重新安排工作方法。知识密集型活动在远程工作中大规模开展,主要在家中进行。在此背景下,本文以意大利西北部的伦巴第大区为重点,探讨了远程工作方式的变化。具体而言,它探讨了地区首府米兰以外的城市在疫情期间对远程工作者的重新适合性,并将其与疫情前进行了比较,还分析了哪些决定因素发挥了作用。结果表明,距离米兰较近、宽带连接较强、知识工作者和外国移民高度集中的城市更适合接待远程工作者。
