Abstract

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, speculations about the decline of major cities arose due to temporary population decreases. This study used a randomized conjoint experiment in Tokyo to examine altered residential preferences and attitudes toward city living, considering pandemic re-occurrence and teleworking. Results showed that the pandemic and remote work did not diminish Tokyo's appeal, suggesting a low probability of urban decline and advocating for compact urban development for resilience against future stressors.
