Abstract

This chapter aims to look at the concept of inclusive entrepreneurship through the lens of architecture. Using the typology of coworking spaces as an exemplary case, it aims to contribute to a broader discussion on the relationship between space and gender. The focus of this essay is on coworking spaces. Coworking spaces have developed an image of serving as hubs for emerging startups, entrepreneurs, and freelancers. As previous chapters in this book have shown, both the concept of entrepreneurship and the person of an entrepreneur underlie rules dominated by masculinity. This raises the question to what extent or under what circumstances these spaces such as coworking spaces appear to be inclusive and provide equal opportunities for a diverse range of entrepreneurs.
