CLAT 2020 Logical Reasoning: India – Natural Justice
If anything, the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has taught us to rethink our
lifestyles and question our need to travel to work every day. After all, in the age of internet,
zoom meetings and webinars can be virtually conducted and physical distancing is possible.
A large nature of work in cities is of tertiary nature, a major part of which can be done from
home. This can affect the way offices function and reduce the need for all employees to be
physically present every day. Information Technology companies are already contemplating a
move of making many of its employees work from home and make this a ‗new normal‘. If
more firms follow suit, the need for huge office buildings and central business districts would
change. Apartments cannot get bigger at the same rate, and people may not have the space or
atmosphere to work from home. This would mean that more people would opt for co-working
spaces close to their homes. This could be a game changer, for it would provide the cities to
better distribute their activities throughout the spaces and rid themselves of the idea of
zoning. Only a handful of professionals are allowed to function from residential zones,
including doctors, lawyers, architects, etc. This needs serious rethinking. Many more
professions of similar nature that do not disturb surrounding residence and have no
requirements of special services should be added to the list. This new work culture would
bring associated demand for food joints, cafés, stationary shops, etc.

Which of the following weakens the author‘s argument that 'Work from home' culture will enable better city planning?
- Development of Co-working spaces will further create chaos in terms of land planning.
- City planning is not only about reducing spaces.
- Work from home will also reduce the flow of money in the economy.
- All of the above.
Explanatory Answer
If co-working spaces affect land planning, it also affects city planning as a whole (option a). If city planning entails consideration of factors other than space, then work-from-home may or may not enable city planning (option b). Work-from-home reducing economic potential of a city does not enable city planning towards implementing it (option c).
