Abstract

La nascita e lo sviluppo degli spazi di coworking si sono rivelati un fenomeno prevalentemente urbano. Negli ultimi anni, tuttavia, le aree periferiche e rurali stanno diventando molto attrattive per questa tipologia di nuovi luoghi del lavoro, anche se la letteratura su questa tematica è limitata.
Questo articolo mira a colmare la lacuna, passando in rassegna gli studi sul tema, discutendo il rinnovato ruolo dei coworking nelle aree periferiche e rurali durante la pandemia Covid-19, e fornendo un quadro dettagliato e aggiornato del crescente numero di CSs nelle Aree Interne e nelle aree rurali italiane nel periodo 2018-2020. Infine, vengono presentati alcuni casi studio di coworking periferici e rurali, seguiti da alcune riflessioni conclusive e idee di ricerca per il futuro.
