THE GUARDIAN | As co-working spaces colonise cities, are workers paying the price?
Co-working was originally practised by artists and other creative workers whose work was, by definition, off-the-cuff: project-based and commissioned. These workers would “co-work” in order to share resources such as client and supplier networks, as well as materials.
"Co-working spaces are the spatial expression of the casualisation we see in the labour market. In theory, they cater to the “digital nomad”, offering a place and a community as an antidote to the isolation and loneliness of most casual forms of work" writes Filipa Pajević, a PhD candidate at the School of Urban Planning of McGill University in Montreal, Canada.
