The concept of co-working has been around for a while, and currently companies in this space are broadening their business. Market leader WeWork is already offering a range of other services such as WeGrow (schools), WeLive (co-living) and WeGym. Last week, its parent company The We Company announced a next step: the design of cities of the future. The company will use technology, data and real estate to answer fundamental urban challenges. Online news platform Quartz writes: “Though sparse on specifics, the mandate for the new team at We is to tie all of the firm’s disparate data sources together. (..) To build on what We has already done inside the building, take it outside, and reimagine a sort of connective tissue for 21st-century cities.”
