London Planning Seminar: Flexible office spaces: variables, typologies and trends. An overview from London and Rome

Speaker: Dr Stefania Fiorentino

The increasing political and economic uncertainties registered in Europe are affecting
the locational patterns of innovative small enterprises. A growing number of
freelancing and project-based work has had an impact on the working spaces and the
commercial real estate market. Flexible and shared office spaces of different forms
are becoming the new trend to accustom the need of start-ups and creative or
innovative entrepreneurs. This study explores the contextual dynamics of co-working
spaces in two very different cities – both for real estate trends and for local economic
development dynamics - like Rome and London. The main typologies of spaces
found are similar but the way they are declined is very different in the two cities,
influenced by the surrounding socio-economic variables. Considering the co-working
and flexible office market in London is better established, the comparison with a real
estate market where co-working is in its infancy, like that of Rome, allows us to
critically address the growth of this type of office space and to address possible
recommendations for stakeholders such as policymakers, real estate professionals
and office occupiers.
