"This book presents a compendium of emerging and innovative studies on the proliferation of new working spaces, both formal and informal, such as co-working spaces, maker spaces, Fab labs, public libraries and coffeeshops, and their role during and post-Covid-19. It contributes to the understanding of the theoretical and practical implications of NWS for our society, economy and urban and regional planning, considering the growth and use of emerging workplaces and new ways of working. The 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"-- Provided by publisher.
