This open access book offers a multidisciplinary and comprehensive
perspective regarding the immediate and long-term effects of the
Covid-19 pandemic on coworking spaces in the European Region. The
current pandemic has imposed several effects on work and spaces for
work. Some are immediate effects and will last for a short time
(such as the closing down of the space), some will last longer
(namely, the reorganisation of the space to meet the physical
distancing), and some will stay for a long time (remote working and
hybrid working). Although the literature on coworking spaces and
the effects of the pandemic is growing fast, empirical studies are
yet limited. Within this context, this book seeks a twofold aim:
(i) to contribute to the fast-growing literature on coworking space
and their effects at different scales; (ii) to present a
multidisciplinary perspective about the effects of the yet-lasting
Corona-pandemic effects on the patterns of remote working and
consequently on coworking spaces, as the most diffused form of new
working spaces. Â Â
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.
This book illustrates and discusses the main characteristics of
port-city development dynamics with a focus on the fast-growing
city-states of the Middle East, which are emerging as key players
in logistics and the global supply chain. Maritime ports and the
cities hosting them have long fascinated scholars - geographers,
economists, architects, urban planners, sociologists etc. - as they
become centres of exchange where different social and urban
environments meet, at the intersection between land and sea. Given
that the current body of literature on the topic is biased - mainly
concerning the Western world and East Asian region - with
mono-disciplinary tendencies, this book outlines a theoretical
basis from a wide range of literature, linking port-city studies,
globalization theories and logistics, and adopts a
multidisciplinary perspective. The main target audience of the book
includes scholars and graduate students in urban studies, spatial
planning, urban and regional economics, logistics, geography and
transport geography with an interest in studying port geography and
the port-city interface, port infrastructure development and port
hinterland dynamics; it will also benefit policymakers and urban
planners whose work involves these topics.
