This edited volume presents a compendium of emerging and innovative
studies on the proliferation of new working spaces (NeWSps), both
formal and informal (such as coworking spaces, maker spaces, fab
labs, public libraries, and coffee shops), and their role during
and following the COVID-19 pandemic in urban and regional
development and planning. This book presents an original,
interdisciplinary approach to NeWSps through three features: (i)
situating the debate in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, which
has transformed NeWSp business models and the everyday work life of
their owners and users; (ii) repositioning and rethinking the
debate on NeWSps in the context of socioeconomics and planning and
comparing conditions between before and during the COVID-19
pandemic; and (iii) providing new directions for urban and regional
development and resilience to the COVID-19 pandemic, considering
new ways of working and living. The 17 chapters are co-authored by
both leading international scholars who have studied the
proliferation of NeWSps in the last decade and young, talented
researchers, resulting in a total of 55 co-authors from different
disciplines (48 of whom are currently involved in the COST Action
CA18214 'The Geography of New Working Spaces and Impact on the
Periphery' 2019-2023: www.new-working-spaces.eu). Selected
comparative studies among several European countries (Western and
Eastern Europe) and from the US and Lebanon are presented. The book
contributes to the understanding of multi-disciplinary theoretical
and practical implications of NeWSps for our society, economy, and
urban/regional planning in conditions following the COVID-19
pandemic. The Open Access version of this book, available at

This book explores the innovative workplaces, namely coworking
spaces and makerspaces, that are emerging as a consequence of
digital innovations and the related development of the knowledge
economy and society in the wake of deindustrialization. Drawing on
international and multidisciplinary research projects, fresh
insights are provided into current trends, research methodologies,
actors, location patterns and effects, and urban and regional
policies and planning. The aim is to cast light on all aspects of
these new working and making spaces, highlighting their innovative
geographies and the complexities of their nexus with urban and
regional change processes from both the theoretical and the
empirical point of view. The book includes multiple illuminating
case studies from the advanced economies of North America and
Europe, carefully selected for their relevance to the topic under
analysis. This book is designed for an international audience
comprising not only academicians but also policymakers,
representatives of civil and entrepreneurial associations, and
business operators.
Globalization of the economy, fragmentation of the production
process, increasing externalization of TNCs activities through
their global value chains and the widespread adoption of
Just-in-Time have increased the flows of raw materials,
intermediate goods and finished products, with a direct effect on
the transport and logistics industry. This industry, indeed, plays
a key role in connecting the different import and export markets
and the vertically disaggregated components of production system,
which are widespread in the world. The existing literature on
transport and logistics is mainly focused on engineering research,
transportation economics and management studies, disregarding the
view of regional economics, which relates with the impact of
economics on space, and therefore, on the impact of
internationalisation on a specific industry - transport and
logistics and its effects on space. The present book aims to fill
the gap in the existing literature by presenting the state of the
art of the impact of globalisation and internationalisation of the
economy on this industry and focusing on the case of Italy.
