Read the story of cSpace on page 148 of “Around The World in 250 Coworking Spaces”.

Crafting a community-driven space from scratch is a journey that entails numerous challenges. While the starting point may vary from one project to another, once the physical space is secured, it becomes a gathering place where people can convene, learn, and find purpose. Today's story embodies all these elements and more. The space we're about to explore took several years to materialize, owing to its vast scope and grandeur. Intriguingly, it was the outcome of a collaborative effort between stakeholders from both the public and private sectors, prompted by a significant issue facing Calgary: the departure of its brightest minds. But why did they turn to the coworking model to tackle this challenge? Can it genuinely make a difference? Join us as we journey to cSPACE in Calgary to uncover the answers.
