Tourism, coworking spaces, and knowledge services: Urban-rural co-agglomeration as local innovation proxy
This paper examines how interactions between knowledge-intensive services (KIS) firms and coworking spaces (CWS) in different types of tourist subregions may shape local innovation ecosystems (LIE) in Bavaria. By differentiating between types of tourism—cultural, sports, regional, and international—and contrasting urban and non-urban contexts, the study investigates how tourism environments influence the presence and configuration of CWS in the c…
Knowledge inflows and outflows in collaborative spaces. The study of makerspaces in Central European countries
In recent years, a multitude of novel work environments have developed throughout Europe. Among these is the makerspace (MS), a new kind of collaborative space that fosters a do-it-yourself ethos. In its nature, MS has the potential to facilitate strong knowledge interactions. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to examine the significance of local knowledge inflows and outflows from and to MSs in the selected Central European countries, in…
Geographies of new ways of working
The geography of work has changed dramatically over the past years. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the flexibilization of labor, notably in spatial terms, but also in the way offices and other workplaces are organized. We discuss the role of new working spaces in the broader developments of digitization and flexibilization. The focus is on the factors behind the emergence of new workspaces and work models and their implications, including soci…
Coworking spaces in Poland: Spatial dynamics and location determinants
Shaping Interconnected Geography in Central and Eastern European Academia—Key Research Challenges for the Future
Central and Eastern European geography, shaped by its entanglement of natural and social sciences, provides a distinctive lens for rethinking the unity of the discipline. Its historical and institutional hybridity makes the region particularly well positioned to foster integrative geographical perspectives. The objective of this study was to evaluate the present, post‐transitional state of the discipline in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), to id…
Unveiling Locational Synergies in Urban and Non‐Urban Areas: Exploring the Colocation Patterns of Coworking Spaces and Knowledge‐Intensive Services
This study examines the colocation patterns of coworking spaces (CWSs) and knowledge‐intensive services (KIS) in Bavaria, Germany. Using K‐density functions, the findings reveal that urban areas foster CWS development through economic diversity and interdisciplinary knowledge environments. Tailored regional policies, including incentives for operators, investments in digital infrastructure and initiatives to attract digital nomads, are recommende…
Multiple local co-agglomeration: Modelling spatial-temporal variations of coworking spaces and creative industries clustering in two central European Capitals
Evolution of New Working Spaces: Changing Nature and Geographies
This open access book provides multidisciplinary perspectives on the changing dynamics of new working spaces in Europe
Location Patterns and Drivers of Coworking Spaces in European Regions
The location patterns of new working spaces and the factors driving their emergence have been widely studied in Europe. However, research has mainly focused on specific countries and very local areas. We widen this perspective to a regional one and conduct a cross‐country study of the location patterns and determinants of today's main new working spaces, specifically coworking spaces that facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing. Coworking …
Work-leisure concepts and tourism: Studying the relationship between hybrid coworking spaces and the accommodation industry in peripheral areas of Germany
Coworking spaces (CSs) have become increasingly popular as a mode and place of work, particularly in urban areas and among digital nomads. However, these spaces are also expanding in remote and attractive locations. Despite this trend, little is known about how tourism can influence the emergence of CSs. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the accommodation industry (hotels and other short-term and medium-term lodging options…
The role of critical conjunctures in regional path creation: A study of Industry 4.0 in the Silesia region
Conceptualizations of path creation proposed in recent years neglect the role of time and temporal mechanisms. This paper argues that a more comprehensive understanding of inter-path relations that incorporates both agency and relationships among temporal sequences can be achieved using the concept of critical conjuncture, which is overlooked in the contemporary path-creation literature. This paper draws on a case study of the industrial region o…

Foreign direct investment, institutional context and the changing polish pig industry
The world's meat market has had tremendous growth in the past decades. Global meat producers, particularly in developed economies, have grown bigger through expansion, mergers and acquisitions. The livestock markets in less developed countries are particularly the prime targets for investments by these producers. This article looks at foreign direct investment in a transitional economy, using Poland's pig industry as the empirical case study. It …
Changes in regional firm founding activities: A theoretical explanation and empirical evidence * Dirk Fornahl
Entrepreneurship studies have been one of the forefronts of economic geography for a long time. While different ontological perspectives and methodological approaches have been applied in analyses of entrepreneurship dynamics, in his PhD research reported in this book, Fornahl attempts to develop and test a set of new methods. His analytical approach and results seek to define a new research path, although some of his analyses follow neoclassical…
