popular with freelancers, knowledge workers, start-up communities, and others
engaged in non-standard creative urban work. Drawing on ethnographic data
gathered in a large case study of coworking spaces in Australia, we develop an
economic model of an important aspect of coworking spaces, and the economic
logic of their existence, in which a coworking space is a Schelling point. This
argues that the main margin of value a coworking space provides is not price
competition with serviced offices, or a more pleasant environment than working at
home, but as a focal (Schelling) point for finding people, ideas and other resources
when you lack the information necessary for coordination. Drawing on
ethnographic research, we test some specific predictions the model makes about
the organizational and institutional form of successful coworking spaces (strong
screening mechanisms, specific technology or problem themed, internal
institutions geared to search-and-match). Finally we raise questions about the
optimal business model for a Schelling point coworking space.

This chapter looks at three networks conceived, planned and implemented by students. All involve the development of important new relationships between schools, local government, businesses, community organisations, parents and community members. All transform the traditional, classroom-centred model of schooling into a networked system where young people learn through experience and refl ection. An ongoing challenge … is how to put young people at the centre of these new partnerships in a way that goes beyond tokenism. Genuine models of youth participation and changemaking are emerging from the wider youth welfare and philanthropic sectors. To be effective, [they] will need to also effect a cultural shift where youth voice becomes a recognised and integral part of education decision-making, not just at the local school level but at the systemic level as well. (Black, 2004) Globalisation and education The last thirty years in Australia and many other countries has seen rapid acceleration in the development of communications technology and global economic integration. These factors have combined with increased international migration, study and tourism to result in continuous transnational fl ows of information and cultural exchange. Contemporary issues such as terrorism, climate change and pandemic disease all have global resonance. Consequently, Australian children growing up with today's access and exposure to television, the Internet, international pop culture and travel opportunities experience vastly different lives to children growing up fifty years ago.
