As per the original concept, coworking offers desks and a good environment for building a community, ensuring interaction and communication between users who represent a particular professional environment for them to exchange knowledge, ideas and contacts. At a time of explosive technological progress, businesses are on the lookout for new points of expansion and optimisation, which results in a drive for the transformation of existing goods and services as well as creating new ones. The emergence of agile spaces and coworking options on a global scale is caused by ongoing social changes generated by value-driven dynamics: those who belong to the latest generation increasingly choose creative professions to express themselves, giving preference to a flexible working schedule and they are looking for independence from a single office as a place of work. Based on global practice, two types of coworking users can be distinguished. The first group is represented by entrepreneurs, the self-employed and small businesses. The second group includes large international corporations using coworking options for temporary accommodation of their staff, and based on the size of office space and the term of its lease, they want to minimise their risks and the costs of a long-term commitment. 2 SURVEY COLLIERS INTERNATIONAL MOSCOW | DECEMBER 2018 3 International companies that see a ready solution for their business in coworking spaces in terms of economic gain and + convenience for their employees include high-profile firms such as IBM, Microsoft, HSBS, KPMG, Dell, Google, Toshiba and General Electric. The evolution of the agile office space market and the advent of large prominent consumers has resulted in coworking becoming a significant part of the office market in cities, such as London, New York, Hong Kong, Beijing and Sydney. In London, coworking space totals 722,000 sq m, accounting for 2% of the office space supply in that city (36 million sq m). HOW MUCH TIME RESIDENTS SPEND IN COWORKING SPACE?

In the future, provided a certain level of demand for agile spaces is reached, the availability of agile offices will be a must for any business centre, which in turn may motivate BC owners to create and manage coworking spaces on their own, thus avoiding engagement with Total agile office space the end-client via sublease, which is presently the case. in Moscow: 100 000 sq m 4 SURVEY COLLIERS INTERNATIONAL MOSCOW | DECEMBER 2018 5 74% Classical SUPPLY AND DEMAND 26% Specialized IN THE MOSCOW AGILE SPACE MARKET Coworking appeared in Moscow a few years ago, but there are already about 110 locations TYPES available. Compared to 2016, the number of operational coworking spaces has increased by 31%, OF COWORKING which exceeds global growth rates (15-20%, on average). Typically, at the early stage of the coworking market there was a high share of closed outlets: under stiff quality requirements and competition a large number of coworking outlets were forced to close.

Thus, the share of coworking These premises have their target audience while their floor area normally does not exceed 50 sq m. premises in the total office space supply in Moscow (around 18.2 million sq m) comes to 0.33%.

The share of specialised coworking B+/- business centres, whereas most (70%) small coworking outlets (below 100 sq m) are found in venues is dwindling with each year due to the growth in classical coworking, which is evidence of the Class B- office centres, or those of lower classes as well as in other buildings, not office centres (residential development of the quality agile space market in Moscow. buildings, shopping centres and others). 6 SURVEY COLLIERS INTERNATIONAL MOSCOW | DECEMBER 2018 7 Average occupancy of coworking space ranges from 70% to 90%. Coworking premises in Moscow are mainly located in districts of high business activity: half of them (48%) are confined within central Moscow and the MIBC Moscow City business district, where coworking venues of operators such as Workki, CEO Rooms and Union Place successfully operate. The expanding geography of coworking venues was an important trend of 2017: for the first time new outlets were opened in New Moscow (Troitsk, Moskovsky settlement). The coworking operator START launched an entire coworking chain in Moscow’s near suburbs, such as Krasnogorsk, Odintsovo, Korolev, Reutov and Dubna. Overall, 14 coworking venues were opened beyond the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD) in 2017. The average space of newly opened coworking venues had grown from 300 sq m in 2016 to 1,300 sq m in 2017, which can be explained by the fact that chain operators Workki, GrowUp, SOK and Deworkacy opened several coworking outlets with areas varying between 1,000 and 2,500 sq m. An increase in the floor area of coworking venues is accompanied by a transformation in their functional zoning, with open space areas shrinking, whereas the number of private offices and event venues has increased. Changes in the inner structure of coworking reflect the needs of users: COWORKING BREAKDOWN BY teams with an increased number of participants have started choosing a CLASSES OF BUSINESS CENTRES walled office that creates a comfortable working environment, ensuring an atmosphere of privacy. Other things aside, open space is the least profitable coworking zone, as compared to private offices and event venues (in the current market where demand is generated by sole entrepreneurs), which also stimulates coworking operators to make a choice not in favour of open space in coworking space zoning.

And one of them is the pollution of urban water bodies with different toxicants, such as heavy metals. In this study, the analysis of surface water bodies carried out to containing of some heavy metals, such as: Pb, Fe, Mn, Sr, Zn, Cd and Cu, as well as comparison of obtained results with the results of previous research in 2006. During the research it was found that the main heavy metal contaminating town water bodies is cadmium (Cd), which average concentration is thirtyfold higher then allowed statutory level of contaminants for water bodies to amenity needs. Maximal concentration of Cd is 37 MPCan (maximum permissible concentration in water bodies to amenity needs) was evidenced in the pond inside the industrial area. The other heavy metals found in water bodies and benthic sediments in concentrations 2–5 MPCan were Pb, Fe and Mn. The results were compared with the previous research data in 2006, and it should be noticed, that during the eleven years concentrations of Pb and Mn lowered a bit, but they are still higher than MPCan. At the same time, concentrations of Fe and Cd have slightly increased.

  • RUSSIA the Dubna Wetlands
    RUSSIA The Dubna Wetlands: Homeland of the Crane Elena Smirnova Biodiversity Conservation Center THE CONTEXT The Dubna wetland and the surrounding area called the “Homeland of the Crane” is composed of 40,000 hectares in the northern part of Moscow region, Russia. Geographically, the Homeland of the Crane is located in the southern part of the upper Volga lowland of the Russian plain, and belongs to the temperate continental climatic zone. Its origin is in the last glacial period around 8,000 years ago. Botanically, the area contains a complex of older-birch swamps, raised pine-moss and transitional bogs, mixed coniferous forests and farmlands. The major ecosystem products, functions, and attributes of Dubna wetland include water quality enhancement; water retention and regulation of hydrological regime; wildlife habitat; migratory bird flyway; and berry production. Extensive moss bogs of the Dubna wetland store rain and melted water and feed local rivers and springs. Filtered through peat (4-5m thick) and sand layers water is cleaned, which replenishes the groundwater – the main drinking resource for people in the area. The Dubna wetland provides wildlife habitat for many rare species of plant and animals in the Moscow region and central Russia. About 20,500 ha were preserved in the Dubna lowland for conservation objectives. The list of protected species includes Orchises, Cypripedium calceolus, Lycopodiums, Nymphaea candida, Gammarbia, and species of the post glacial relics Betula nana, Rhubus, etc. The area contains nine of the 15 bird of prey in the Moscow region. Osprey, great spotted eagle, Azure tit, merlin, curlew, beavers, bear, elk, and lynx inhabit the Dubna wetland.
