Abstract

This study examines the colocation patterns of coworking spaces (CWSs) and knowledge-intensive services (KIS) in Bavaria, Germany. Using K-density functions, the findings reveal that urban areas foster CWS development through economic diversity and interdisciplinary knowledge environments. Tailored regional policies, including incentives for operators, investments in digital infrastructure and initiatives to attract digital nomads, are recommended to promote CWSs in urban and non-urban areas. These insights emphasise the role of CWSs in driving innovation, economic resilience and sustainable work practices, providing valuable guidance for policymakers and stakeholders in diverse regional settings.
