Announcing the development of the Ultimate Coworking Toolkit!

There are over 12,000 coworking spaces in the world now, with another 5,000 or so joining the ranks in 2016 alone.

Nobody owns coworking. Nobody controls it, nobody licenses it.

So where’s the manual? How are so many people around the world building what are, in many ways, the same thing?

The answer is, there is no manual. Coworking is a natural, emergent phenomenon. People are just coming to the same conclusions, everywhere.

That being said, over the past ten years, people building coworking spaces have also encountered a lot of the same challenges and had to devise a lot of the same solutions.

Some of that’s been documented. With my lady Amy’s editing help, my friend Ramon wrote the Ultimate Coworking Handbook, which covers a TON of the bases. I highly recommend it.

Alex Hillman has written extensively about many of the most important aspects of coworking and community building, both on his site and on the Coworking Google Group (you’re on that, right?).

But there are still HUGE gaps in the collective knowledge base when it comes to resources and tools.

To address this, New Work Cities is undertaking an effort to develop the Ultimate Coworking Toolkit. We’ll start by using the documents, processes and procedures we developed to help run New Work City, then expand on them from there to include things we wish we’d had, as well as some fantastic best practices we’ve learned visiting dozens of coworking spaces around the world.
