摘要 本文研究了联合办公空间的选址模式和对城市环境的影响，以及现有文献所忽视的问题。重点关注米兰，它是意大利知识型、创意型、数字化和共享经济的核心，也是意大利拥有最多联合办公空间的城市。本文解决了三个主要问题：（1）米兰联合办公空间的主要地点在哪里？ (2) 联合办公空间在城市尺度和局部尺度上是否有变革性的影响？ （3）它们对空间转型和实践创新（例如工作、休闲或文化）有何影响？案头研究表明，联合办公空间的选址模式类似于城市地区的服务业，靠近所谓的“创意集群”。实地研究揭示了城市影响，例如工人在当地社区倡议中参与联合办公空间、他们对城市复兴趋势的贡献以及微观尺度的物理改造。因此，本文有助于填补关于这些新工作空间的位置模式及其在不同尺度上的城市影响（无论是在城市空间还是实践方面）的文献空白。
ABSTRACT The present paper investigates the location patterns and the effects co-working spaces generate on the urban context, issues that have been neglected by the existing literature. The focus is on Milan, the core of the Italian knowledge-based, creative, digital, and sharing economy, and the city hosting the largest number of co-working spaces in Italy. The paper addresses three main questions: (1) Where are the main locations of co-working spaces in Milan? (2) Are there any transformative effects of co-working spaces, respectively at the urban scale and at the very local scale? (3) What are their impacts in terms of spatial transformation and in terms of innovation in practices (for instance, work, leisure, or culture)? Desk research showed that location patterns of co-working spaces resemble those of service industries in urban areas, with a propinquity to the so-called “creative clusters.” Field research shed light on urban effects, such as the participation of workers in co-working spaces in local community initiatives, their contribution to urban revitalization trends, and micro-scale physical transformations. The paper, therefore, helps to fill the gap in the literature about the location patterns of these new working spaces and their urban effects at different scales, both in terms of urban spaces and practices.
