There are many different expectations for a work hub from different actors in the public and private sector. This in turn creates new roles for actors in the city as a catalyst in the process of developing new ways of traveling (and non-travelling) through work hubs combined with digital services as alternatives to travelling. At the seminar we will discuss experiences from the workshop with municipal actors about the new roles that are emerging in relation to the work hub. Some themes are: prerequisites and expectations for creating new ways of working in a third place (outside home and work); reducing traffic jams and congestion; flexible solutions for employees; dialogue about digital infrastructure and the future innovative solutions to meet climate challenges
