So the question is whether it is possible to blend the best that co-working, start-up urbanism offers with a policy framework that also constrains into the picture a proper regard for access, equality and real inclusion?

I am loathe to write off the opportunities for regeneration, growth and inclusion which is genuinely on offer from these initiatives; but the risks of naive solutionism in this space clearly is high.
