Abstract: This article discusses the delivery of shared workspaces as a new type of social infrastructure. Planning tools for the delivery and longer-term maintenance of these spaces are still on trial. We examine a selection of cases in Europe highlighting the social value generated and the delivery mechanisms used. In both cases, shared workspaces can deliver social infrastructure benefits if they are embedded within a wider strategic regenerative vision based on the needs of local communities but combining public and private sector efforts. The label of ‘social infrastructure’ is crucial to achieve this policy and practice shift.
