Two of my favourite topics, smart working (remote/hybrid) and Smart Buildings. Despite high profile RTO mandates from the likes of Tesla, JP Morgan and Amazon, it's clear that flexible working, in terms or hours and locations, is here to stay. 

This article shares 'The coworking space market will grow from $19.05 billion last year (2023) to $22.44 billion in 2024 – an annual growth rate of 17.8%. Further, it’s estimated that the flexible office space sector will rise significantly from its current size of c 53.4 million square feet (Sept 2023) to 81 million square feet by 2025 – a phenomenal increase of 52 percent.

By the end of 2024, it’s anticipated there will be 41,975 global coworking spaces. That’s an annual growth rate of just over 21%.'

This is also a huge opportunity to create far more sustainable buildings and working practices. In both buildings and work flexibility is the key.  

How can we make our existing buildings more flexible and efficient, and how can we do the same for our working practices?  Happy to hear your thoughts.
