Sharing Cities

Shareable is an organization that promotes more sharing among community members, or “activating the urban commons,” as they call it. There really are some interesting initiatives that have taken place across the world, things we can learn from. Today, I read Sharing Cities, a compendium of case studies that Shareable has put together. It’s filled with fascinating ideas across 11 domains of city life: housing, mobility, food, work, energy, land, waste, water, technology, finance and governance. I dog-eared many pages to have a closer look and have already sent some ideas to other community members.
