Forecasting the Future of Coworking

Summary

In this article I outline the limitations of the coworking business model and explore solutions that harness the power of community to create financial sustainability and social resilience. At a moment when the future of work is emerging, coworking spaces are in the perfect position to support the needs of freelancers, startups and companies in their quest to develop new ways of working by providing support that extends beyond shared desk space. By bringing community together, fostering trust and driving opportunities to their members, coworking spaces can become dynamic hubs that ground the networked global economy in local communities, thereby becoming the cornerstone of resilient business ecosystems.
