Obviously in many large cities people live in small apartments . It wouldn't be crazy to assume someone would work out of a Cafe, Co-working space, or Library.
So you can still do a small commute with a bike or etc.
I don't see that scaling very far, if I take Berlin as an example there is absolutely no way to find a library/coffee shop spot for even 10% of the IT workers. I'd reckon Zalando employees alone would fill all the coffee shops of the city.
Coffee shops & libraries are also only good for certain types of work, too. If I need to have a 45+ minute strategy call, or discuss the "secret sauce" of our solution, I'm certainly not doing that in public.
Likewise, they're often loud and hard to focus in when doing detailed, focused work.
