Abstract: In recent years, radical changes in technology and working cultures have influenced multi-local living and working tendencies. By employing a mixed methods approach, combining spatial analyses, document analysis and semi-structured interviews, this study explores potential locations for multi-local workers in the two regions of Oslo and Helsinki. It then examines how multi-local living and working is addressed in regional policies and planning strategies, including acknowledgement and inputs by regional practitioners. Among the various implications, the findings highlight the impact on the dynamics between urban and rural areas, regional growth, and transportation opportunities. This study promotes understanding about evolving multi-local approaches.
