New workplace values and attitudes reflected WorkSpace design. Recession coincides with emergence of the CoWorking movement.
The coworking movement, one could argue, is based on this kind of shift in the nature of work, which has resulted in a change in attitudes. This shift means that as traditional work has eroded, more people turn to entrepreneurship and freelancing. These people number in the millions but are without any traditional workplace to work from or belong to. This has some surprising effects, Richard Sennett observes: One of the unintended consequences of modern capitalism is that it has strengthened the value of place, aroused a longing for community.
*For the first time, the term "coworking" was seen as a trend on Google's database. Since then, the search queries increased by a factor of 20 when searching the word "coworking" prevailed over other search terms.
The concept of coworking became a part of mainstream media in the United States. However, until about 2009/2010, the term was restricted only to the United States.
