The truth probably lies somewhere between. But where? This complex picture can best be explored by answering three questions:

• How and where will we work?
  
• Where will we rest ?
  
• Where will we play?
  
  

WORK

• Buildings - office buildings long overdue for revolution
• Workers - a more sophisticated workforce will shun commuting
• City Centres - will be friendlier, less formal places
• Inner Cities - a place to live again
• Apocalypse? - major government intervention required
• Users - a picture of gloom outweighs hope
• Funders - property will remain a repository for investors

REST

• New communities - underclass left as population flees
• Town filling - regeneration under way
• Future house - drawing on the past

PLAY

• Shopping - can the high street survive?
• Transport - fundamental reappraisal

ASK THE KIDS

• What do our children see in their future?

SUMMARY

• Tomorrow is already here
