The new geography of flexible work in Bologna: not just offices and coworking, but ecosystems

Wed 09 Jul 2025

In recent years Bologna has seen the emergence of a real geography of flexible work: we are no longer just talking about offices or desks, but urban ecosystems that focus on connection, creativity and people's well-being. Coworking in the city has turned into an experience that combines workspaces, professional communities, educational events and cultural life.

From physical spaces to places of relationships

From historic downtown buildings to greenhouses in public parks, from regenerated warehouses in the suburbs to panoramic rooftops, Bologna's coworking spaces tell the story of an evolving city. Each space is not just a container, but an accelerator of meetings, ideas and collaborations. Smartworkers today choose Bologna precisely for its ability to offer stimulating environments, both from a practical and human perspective.

Neighborhoods that become hubs

Areas like Bolognina, San Donato, Navile and Mazzini are no longer simple neighborhoods: they have become urban hubs where coworking, events, universities, street art, social design intersect. Students, freelancers, researchers, entrepreneurs meet in these places. It is no coincidence that every year Bologna hosts international events related to innovation, AI and the future of work.

Community as an added value

The real engine of change is communities. In Bologna's coworking spaces, relationships are born between professionals from different sectors, synergies are created, and skills are shared. Some spaces organize workshops, others foster contamination between art and technology, and still others offer talks and informal moments for new ideas to emerge.

Coworking and territory: an ongoing dialogue

This new geography of work is also deeply connected to the territory. Coworking spaces dialogue with Bologna's identity: with the university, with sustainable mobility policies, with its historical heritage, and with the needs of its citizens. This creates professional ecosystems that are not divorced from the city, but enrich it every day.

The role of spaces like Not Only Desk's Creative Hub.

Within this scenario is Not Only Desk's Coworking Creative Hub, a space that fully represents this evolution. It does not just provide desks and offices, but proposes a creative environment, connected to the city and attentive to people's well-being. A place where working also means sharing, growing, innovating.
In short, Bologna is not just a city where you can find a coworking space: it is a city that lives and promotes flexible work as a cultural and social model. Choosing a coworking space here means becoming part of a living, open and constantly evolving ecosystem.
