Abstract

In the Netherlands traditionally many employees often did not work not at the office. The Dutch workforce was a large user of third spaces, especially in libraries and coffee bars and in coworking spaces. This meant that for most Dutch workers the switch to working from home during the pandemic was less substantial than in some other countries. These third spaces did suffer from the loss of working clientele during the pandemic and some (non)commercial third spaces had to close. Dutch coworking spaces are mostly found in densely populated areas and are either located in the inner city or at industrial sites.
