The role of geographical location for work-life balance satisfaction
With the rapid advancements in information and communication technologies reshaping ways and places of work, the quest for work-life balance has gained crucial importance. Recent literature has increasingly emphasised coworking spaces as a potential solution to foster work-life balance by alleviating work-life conflicts and offering environments that favour an integration of work and leisure. Despite this growing interest, quantitative studies in…
Collaborative spaces in third places
This Special Issue contains nine articles, drawn from an international scholarly community; our authors are located in Australia, Colombia, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Poland, and Spain. The articles adopt perspectives from economics, management and regional geography, but also organisational and political sociology and urban planning. They employ multiple theoretical approaches among them: decolonial theory, institutional theory…
Did remote working push the growth of coworking spaces? The Italian cities case study
The rescheduling of working methods due to the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a surge in remote working arrangements and demand for collaborative spaces, like coworking spaces (CSs). Within this context, the paper analyses the growth and location of Italian CSs before and after the COVID-19 pandemic (2018–2023) by merging new data sources and exploring their determinants. Applying a mixed-methods approach through qualitative and quantitative (coun…
Evolution of New Working Spaces
This open access book provides multidisciplinary perspectives on the changing dynamics of new working spaces in Europe
Experiencing disruption and transformation of communal environments
In light of the Russian–Ukrainian conflict, this study explores the transformation and resilience of Ukrainian coworking spaces amid significant social disruptions, contrasting war-driven changes with those prompted by other exogenous shocks like the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Utilising problem-centred interviews and co-constructed autoethnographic narratives, we probe the evolving roles and organisational shifts these spaces underg…
The call of nature. Three post-pandemic scenarios about remote working in Milan
In recent years remote working (RW) arrangements have increased in many countries, mainly because of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has also intensified the need for humans to live closer to nature. Within this context, the paper aims to discuss three possible future scenarios for the spread of RW by 2050, and how this could affect residential choices, people's relationship with the natural environment, and thus the renewed role of large cities, sm…
Location dynamics of coworking spaces in China
This paper explores the location determinants of coworking spaces (CSs) in the Chinese capital of Beijing, thus filling the gap in the literature about CS location in urban China. The study applies a count data model (CDM) to the data collected in 2022 to answer three research questions: (1) Where are CSs located and what are the location determinants? (2) How does Beijing’s urban structure affect CS location determinants? (3) What role do creati…
The preferred location of coworking spaces in Italy
With a rising globalization of the economy and society, the digital transformation, and the economic downturn started in 2008, working is becoming less dependent on distance, location, and time. These are some of the reasons that have fostered the development and diffusion of new working spaces like coworking spaces. The paper aims at exploring the location determinants of coworking spaces, an issue that has been less developed by the literature …
Flexible geographies of new working spaces
The emergence of new working spaces (e.g. coworking spaces, third places, makerspaces, fab labs) is a phenomenon reflecting a broader change in the current digital economy from predominantly traditional offices and hierarchical structures to a more fluid way of working based on projects, networks, and collaborations. The articles published in this special issue reflect on the flexible geographies induced by these new working spaces, focusing on a…
I want to break free
The revolution in the organization of work, induced by the COVID-19 pandemic, has had, and will have, some long-lasting consequences on how jobs will be performed, affecting adult life well-being. What we know so far about the determinant of satisfaction for work–life balance may not be valid anymore considering this sudden revolution in work organization. This \npaper presents an empirical analysis based on a cross-sectional survey of 803 worker…
Coworking Spaces and Well-Being
In the era of rising globalization, technological advancements (e.g., ICT), and the aftermath of the 2008 global economic crisis, working is becoming less dependent on distance, time, and space. With the increasing number of freelance and independent workers, more flexible working styles are emerging. The present paper aims to study the effect of coworking spaces (CSs) on coworkers’ (CWs) level of well-being and life satisfaction; in other words,…
Who were the losers and winners during the Covid-19 pandemic? The rise of remote working in suburban areas
The Covid-19 pandemic has rapidly altered the habits and lifestyles of every citizen worldwide and will have effects in the medium to long terms. The need for ‘social distancing’ has negatively affected urban areas and encouraged a rescheduling of working methods. Knowledge-intensive activities have been massively undertaken on a large scale in remote working, mainly carried out at home. Within this context, the paper explores the changes in work…

Shared Spaces or Shelters for Precarious Workers? Coworking Spaces in Italy
This paper critically discusses the relationship between new workspaces, such as Coworking Spaces (CSs), professionals using such spaces, and the related work patterns, looking at the Italian context in particular. There appears to be a mismatch between the educational level of such workers, their expertise and expected professional status on the one hand, and their reality in terms of employment precariousness and low income, on the other. It ap…
Logistics global network connectivity and its determinants. A European City network analysis
Coworking Spaces and New Social Relations
The late 2000s witnessed a wide diffusion of innovative workplaces, named coworking spaces, designed to host creative people and entrepreneurs: the coworkers. Sharing the same space may provide a collaborative community to those kinds of workers who otherwise would not enjoy the relational component associated with a traditional corporate office. Coworking spaces can bring several benefits to freelancers and independent workers, such as knowledge…

Co-working Spaces in Milan
The present paper investigates the location patterns and the effects co-working spaces generate on the urban context, issues that have been neglected by the existing literature. The focus is on Milan, the core of the Italian knowledge-based, creative, digital, and sharing economy, and the city hosting the largest number of co-working spaces in Italy. The paper addresses three main questions: (1) Where are the main locations of co-working spaces i…
