Perspectives on the dynamics of third spaces

Abstract

While coworking spaces (CSs) were traditionally viewed as a necessity for self-employed workers and freelancers, we outline how different users have also adopted the concept, even more so during the pandemic. The range of users has now expanded with employees from all sorts of companies who need to balance remote working with their private lives at home. We indicate avenues for future growth, in particular when the use of a CS becomes a lifestyle choice, and present paths for future research on CS users.
