Today my Badass Friend\u2122 Ashley Proctor posted a photo from a flight she was on, featuring a documentary on coworking that she found on the in-flight entertainment system:<\/p>\n

…which, unto itself, is just another sign of just how far coworking has come to the mainstream.<\/p>\n

But wait, there’s more! This isn’t just a puff piece on fancy-looking office rentals. They find some really interesting projects to cover, in particular the Sharing City Seoul Initiative.<\/a><\/p>\n

How Seoul’s City Hall coworking space works<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The space is first and foremost for city officials.<\/li>\n
  2. Unused space is made available to the general public at a below-market rate.<\/li>\n
  3. Some lounge spaces are available to the public, free of charge, all the time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How do the government and the people interact in this space? What do they do to take advantage of all of the incredible civic potential this unlocks?<\/p>\n

    I don’t know, but like a young Lorraine Baines lusting after a handsome Calvin Klein, I’m gonna find out.<\/p>\n

    This is all in just the first four minutes of this 24-minute episode, <\/a>the fifth in a series on the various new ways people are learning how to share.<\/p>\n
