Speaker
Description
Over the past few years, as a result of changes brought about by technological advances and more recently by the COVID-19 pandemic, the form and location of work provision has changed significantly. The presentation aims to deliver recent research on the spatial distribution and location factors of new workspaces (mainly coworking spaces and makerspaces) in Poland and abroad. While coworking spaces clearly relate to the settlement hierarchy and, to a greater extent, to the hierarchy of the country's economic centres, the location of makerspaces is more complex. This is due to the slightly different location factors of these two types of new workspaces. In the case of coworking spaces, good transport accessibility, the presence of accompanying amenities (cafés, restaurants, etc.) and the co-presence of creative and advanced business services companies are often emhpasized. The location factors of makerspaces are not yet fully recognised, although the role of representatives of the maker movement and local leaders is more often indicated here.
