Welcome to the Urban Sharing project

Urban Sharing of assets has emerged as a prospective solution to sustainability challenges faced by cities. However, its sustainability potential and institutionalisation pathways have not been systematically examined. This research programme aims to examine, test and advance knowledge about design, sustainability of practices and institutionalisation pathways of urban sharing organisations across 5 cities: Amsterdam, Toronto, Shanghai, Melbourne and Seoul. The research conflates organisational, institutional and sustainability sciences.

On 16 November, 2020, Sharing Cities Sweden and Sharing Cities Alliance organised a roundtable on “SHARING CITIES: SHAPING TOMORROW”. The roundtable focused on the topic ‘From challenges to chances for change’. The purpose of this roundtable was to share insights and ideas on the future of sharing in our cities and communities.
