Abstract
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 socio-economic inequalities. In particular, we set out a research agenda for studying the spatialities of new ways of working.
