“…This was a result of the awareness of the disadvantages of working in a classic office, at home or at the local café (Fuzi et al, 2014;Rus & Orel, 2015), such as the possible lack of social and professional interaction, isolation, and the blurred boundary between a private and a professional life (Leclercq-Vandelannoitte & Isaac, 2016;Waber, Magnolfi, & Lindsay, 2014). Kojo and Nenonen (2017) suggested that the main drivers for the evolution of co-working spaces were new ways of working, attractiveness (i.e. increasing demand for more than only a workspace at a good location), work/ life balance, economic efficiency (i.e.…”

Over the past decades, the use of mobile technology has increased and the attitude towards work has changed, making it possible to work anywhere at any time. However, workers still seek work environments that stimulate networking and collaboration possibilities. This has led to the growing popularity of co-working spaces. However, little is known about the specific preferences of co-working space users. The aim of this research is to analyse user preferences for co-working space characteristics. Stated choice data were collected by means of a questionnaire which was completed by 219 respondents of 25 co-working spaces in the Netherlands. A mixedmultinomial logit model was used to analyse the user preferences. Results show that the main motivations for co-workers to work in a co-working space were that they were looking for a workplace outside their home that allows them to work in an inspiring work environment where the accommodation is affordable. Accessibility and atmosphere/interior are the most important characteristics when choosing a specific co-working space. These results provide owners or managers of co-working spaces with clear insights about how to cope with co-worker preferences by offering co-working spaces with good accessibility by car and public transport, a semi-open layout and a homelike interior.

“…Co-working offices (also called co-working spaces by Kojo and Nenonen, 2014) is the most recent development on the multi-tenant market (Deijl, 2012). Many freelancers and employees that worked at home felt the need to interact, socialise or collaborate with others.…”

“…In line with this, CBs represent a strategic model, acting "as interfaces with the creative milieu in the city and beyond" [47] (p. 133), and boosting innovation processes in the city at the individuals and community levels [48]. Kojo and Nenonen, studying the evolution of CBs, identified regional development as one driver for the evolution of coworking [49], while Buksh and Mouat say that the presence of knowledge workers has "wider economic and social benefits across the city fringes and regional centres" [2] (p. 22).…”

Sharing economy platforms enabled by information and communication technologies (ICTs) are facilitating the diffusion of collaborative workplaces. Coworking spaces are emerging as a distinctive phenomenon in this context, not only fostering knowledge transfer and facilitating innovation, but also affecting the urban and socio-economic fabric contributing to urban regeneration processes at both the local scale and the city scale. Although the positive impacts of coworking on the urban environment are documented, there is still little or no evidence of the economic viability of coworking businesses, and a “coworking bubble” has been evoked. Given the lack of data, a national survey was set up of Italian coworking businesses, aimed at assessing the relevance of internal organizational factors (size, occupancy, profitability, services provided) for the sustainability of coworking businesses. By presenting the results of the survey, we argue that the sustainability and viability of the coworking model is highly dependent on internal factors, strictly related to the entrepreneurial action of coworking managers.
