New Working Spaces Embracing Sustainability
Description

In recent years, new workspaces, such as coworking spaces, fab labs, makerspaces, and creative hubs, have experienced exponential growth globally.

Most of the literature presents the relationship between these new workspaces and sustainability issues in a positive light, particularly highlighting their contributions to urban regeneration processes and the promotion of sustainable businesses and practices. These spaces contribute to decarbonization efforts through the shared use of resources, reduced commuting, the adoption of soft mobility modes, and energy-efficient infrastructures.

However, the real impact of these spaces and their practices on promoting sustainability requires further understanding. In this sense, this proposal aims to combine research on sustainability and ecological transformation with emerging literature on new workspaces, as well as the attitudes and practices of new generations regarding work and lifestyles.

This project seeks to map collaborative workspaces in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (AML) and conduct exploratory research on their potential impacts on sustainable urban development and carbon neutrality through the application of a questionnaire to managers and users of these spaces
