Urban Sustainability and the Sharing Economy

New economic realities and shifting cultural patterns are altering people’s attitudes towards the concept of ownership. In the not too distant future, when the “sharing economy” goes mainstream, our cities will undergo fundamental changes in the way they operate and share resources. This panel analyses the types of changes we can expect, how our cities must prepare themselves, and the different governance models to be adopted.
