The BBC reports that NYC is set to become the first cit in the US to implement a London-like congestion charge. The day-time toll for cars will be $9 in Manhattan below 60th Street, and will begin being enforced on January 5th 2025.

Should this be implemented, and stay in force, it could change where people are willing to drive, park and work around the city – in turn changing where great coworking spaces should exist or be created. We’re expecting to see even more spaces pop up around the perimeter of the congestion zone, with recent moves from local Industrious, WeWork and regional newcomers like The Shop.

The Shop Workspace officially announced its upcoming expansion to Brooklyn’s Gowanus neighborhood. The space will span 12k sqft across a larger Domain Companies residential tower, is set to open in early 2025 and will feature common space, private offices and a series of art studios.

Can you stimulate community and business growth simultaneously? What is the current coworking conundrum? Are technology and automation hindering or empowering the coworking culture? What are the best ways to optimize space coworking monetization?

Join this free webinar to hear what David Walker (CoworkingConsulting.com), Anne Olsen (The Shop Coworking), James Crenshaw (Gather Coworking) and Daniela Mallarino and Bernie Mehl (both at Kisi) have to say about these, and other exciting questions.

The folks at The Shop shared this blog post on ‘coworking for travelers’. For anyone who runs a coworking space the content shouldn’t be that surprising (we all know coworking is great for travelers and remote workers), but you know who may not know that 100% for sure? Travelers.

Content like this is easily shared with prospects and great for SEO (especially if you add your city/state name in the SEO metadata), the only thing I’d do differently is probably create it as a landing page than a blog post. Are you generating localized niche-focussed content? If not, why not?
