| Abstract | Because of the advancement in CIT and other smart technology, we can work from home under the pandemic, making cities more resilient to pandemic threats. However, it is mostly professionals and production service industry employees who can work remotely and sustain their employment while enabling their companies to sustain the business, but not low level service industries and providers. Thus, would employers of the personal service industry be further motivated to use robotics and the like to replace manual labour, thus enlarging socio-economic inequality? If so, is city resilience, with the continued and fast advancement of smart technology, achieved at the expense of the employment opportunities and thus financial wellbeing of the less skilled? |
