Abstract: Practices, organisations and sites of work are deeply entangled with urban development and impact on the way social interaction and spaces are experienced and constructed. Especially since the industrial revolution, spaces of work and home have been conceptually separated with boundaries drawn between the public and private sphere, between spheres of production and reproduction. Nevertheless, this divide has been subject to constant change and negotiation, with boundaries between the productive and reproductive sphere increasingly blurring—especially since the spread of digital technologies. The increasing muddying of these boundaries and what this might mean for our understanding of the urban is the central subject of this special feature. The included contributions therefore investigate how these blurring boundaries unfold in the city both on a social and spatial level in order to challenge and rethink the ways we conceptualise work in urban studies.
