In the last 15 years, new workplaces (such as co-working spaces (CSs), maker spaces (MSs), fablabs and other collaborative and shared spaces) have been increasingly evolved in their planning, design and management, as well as in the daily life of their users (e.g. freelancers, entrepreneurs and students, and more recently, employees). Emerging workplaces and new ways of working are causing several changes to our cities, regions and society which are not fully explored yet. Moreover, new workplaces are established (albeit not restricted because of emerging research in rural areas) in urban areas. In these areas, new workplaces are continually contributing to transformations, such as, socio-economic, cultural, spatial and technological. The understanding of new workplaces is a complex issue for researchers, practitioners and stakeholders, and lately, city planners, policy makers and local governments. On one hand, this complexity is a result of the myriad of theories (social capital, urban economics and economic geography, open innovation, new sharing economy) and research methods (qualitative, quantitative and mix-methods); on the other hand, it is due to the variety of socio-spatial and economic characteristics, as well as functions and uses of these new workplaces. Thus, even the concept of new workplaces is generally subject to multiple interpretations and understandings depending on the perspectives, which are usually from social science disciplines (including sociology, architecture, urban and regional planning and economics). Indeed, the knowledge of theories, methods and practices in the field of new workplaces is itself intertwined with the economic, physical, socio-cultural and planning dimensions of each context.

书评：新工作场所——位置模式、城市效应和发展轨迹。全球调查

在过去的 15 年中，新的工作场所（例如联合办公空间 (CS)、创客空间 (MS)、制造实验室和其他协作和共享空间）在其规划、设计和管理以及用户的日常生活（例如自由职业者、企业家和学生，以及最近的员工）。新兴的工作场所和新的工作方式正在给我们的城市、地区和社会带来一些尚未完全探索的变化。此外，在城市地区建立了新的工作场所（尽管不受农村地区新兴研究的限制）。在这些领域，新的工作场所不断促进社会经济、文化、空间和技术等方面的变革。对于研究人员、从业者和利益相关者来说，对新工作场所的理解是一个复杂的问题，最近，城市规划者、政策制定者和地方政府。一方面，这种复杂性是众多理论（社会资本、城市经济学和经济地理学、开放创新、新型共享经济）和研究方法（定性、定量和混合方法）的结果；另一方面，这是由于这些新工作场所的社会空间和经济特征以及功能和用途的多样性。因此，即使是新工作场所的概念通常也会根据视角而受到多种解释和理解，这些视角通常来自社会科学学科（包括社会学、建筑学、城市和区域规划以及经济学）。事实上，新工作场所领域的理论、方法和实践知识本身与经济、物理、
