In recent years the land-rent gradient for city of London has flattened by 17 percentage points. Further, teleworking increased 24 point skilled workers, but much less unskilled workers.

Skilled working in final goods production, can telework while either or local services cannot. We show that flattens gradient, eventually move from center to city's periphery, fundamentally...
