Daily mobility patterns of coworkers in non-metropolitan areas, a French case study
Résumé
The recent surge in coworking spaces outside urban centres calls us to question the assumed positive externalities of these places and especially their contribution to the transition towards more virtuous mobility practices. Daily mobility in low-density areas, heavily dependent on cars, is in fact a major issue in the ecological and social transition. The interest generated by coworking spaces outside of metropolitan areas, especially for public authorities, therefore entails more thorough documentation concerning their effects on mobility. By using both GPS tracking and indepth interviews, we have been able to develop a typology of the daily mobility patterns of coworkers on the margin of metropolitan areas and therefore demonstrate the importance of rationales that integrate the territorial dimension and the embedding of social relations on the structuring of mobility.
