Coworking Space and Cluster Spatial Relations in the Context of Jakarta City Spatial Structure

Abstract

Y generations, or better known as the millennials, are currently the most significant addition in work place. Globalization and industry 4.0 development are the biggest external factors that shaped their character. Both of them has changed the way millennials live as a part of the society. This characters are reflected in the work place in a form of collaborative work. It is becomes the main reason why coworking spaces are now a global trend. Coworking spaces exist as a manifestation of millenials adaptation in occupying work place. With its shared-knowledge based system as the main concept, coworking spaces need a certain proximity with one another. It has an impact on coworking spaces distribution that tends to concentrated in a certain area, particularly in existing industrial cluster. This phenomenon is often called agglomeration economies or spatial clustering. The emergence of coworking space and the phenomenon of agglomeration are most likely occured simultaneously in urban environment. It is also occurred in Jakarta. However, it is still in its early development compared to Silicon Valley. Reflect on that successful cluster and based on current development studies on agglomeration economies, this paper will discuss about coworking space and cluster agglomeration process, relation, and potential capacity which will be integrated with Jakarta spatial structure current condition. The results will indicate the city structure adaptation towards cluster development and give depiction to foresee its future development possibilities.

A phenomenon in urban disruption: the emergence of Coworking Spaces in Bandung

“…The context for the emergence of the idea of Coworking Spaces is the need for new workstyles as a result of various technological advances ( Huliana and Ellisa, 2019 ; Moriset, 2013 ; Schürmann, 2013 ). Coworking Spaces are a new urban phenomenon that reflects a shift in knowledge workers toward flexible, project-based tasks and the freedom to work independently in a different location as a result of deeper social changes ( Nakano et al, 2020 ; Richardson, 2017 ).…”

“…The advent of the 21 st century resulted in rapid information, communication, and technology (ICT) growth. Modern lifestyles and economic systems have been affected by this, including new job models and urban planning aspects ( Delitheou et al., 2019 ; Hendarman and Tjakraatmadja, 2012 ; Hsu et al., 2008 ; Huliana and Ellisa, 2019 ; Moriset, 2013 ; Schürmann, 2013 ; Yigitcanlar, 2010 ). The world has undergone major economic transformation, especially in the 18 th century, from the agricultural economy to the industrial economy.…”

“…ICT also affects social aspects, especially for digital natives, a community that lives with technology and has characteristics that are brave against conventional cultures ( Hsu et al., 2008 ; Huliana and Ellisa, 2019 ). Today, digital natives will become digital nomads who have the chance to work anywhere and at any time, including from home ( Reichenberger, 2018 ; Thompson, 2019 ).…”

“…As a consequence of demands for modern model workstyles, the rise of Coworking Spaces ( Huliana and Ellisa, 2019 ; Schürmann, 2013 ). The concepts went through the hybridization process of the 3 rd place workspaces ( Fost, 2008 ; Moriset, 2013 ).…”

“…The term Coworking Spaces in spatial planning documents is still unfamiliar and unpracticed. However, the massive development and spatial patterns of Coworking Spaces can affect the internal urban structure ( Huliana and Ellisa, 2019 ; Mariotti et al., 2017 ; Moriset, 2013 ). This paper aims to analyze spatial patterns and linkages with local features to understand the basic phenomena of the development of Coworking Spaces in Bandung which can be an additional feature of consideration in the formulation of spatial planning documents.…”
