Many of us go about our daily lives using services like Uber, HomeAway, AirBnB, Task Rabbit, Lyft, Citi Bike (not in Dallas… but in NYC) and Zipcar. These services are the result of the sharing economy.

This article talks about the new "sharing economy" which involves people sharing accommodation and transport in exchange for money. It also talks about how walkable, attractive cites would greatly stimulate this sector and the economy in general. It seems to champion a more european city: pedestrianized and attractive, over the american model of urban sprawl. I found this article extremely informative and as an 18 year old without a car I wholeheartedly support this kind of city!

In 2013, Ronald van den Hoff, founder of Seats2meet, introduced Shareable co-founder Neal Gorenflo to Nils Roemen. A Dutch consultant, community organizer, and sharing activist, Roemen has co-founded numerous sharing projects. One of his first was DareToAsk ("Durftevragen" in Dutch), a workshop based on tapping into social abundance by inviting people to ask each other for help.

The city of Copenhagen is making a public call to citizens, companies and government to make the transition to the new, connected and inclusive economy. With many great cities in the running, it is no mean feat that Copenhagen nabbed the top spot, for two years in a row, as Fast Company’s most innovative city in Europe. According to The Global Innovation Index 2014, Denmark remains one of the world’s top 10 most innovative countries. There is a deliberate attempt all around to model behavior, mindsets and infrastructure for a more efficient, resource -sharing, low impact lifestyle while maintaining a high standard of living which brings me to the question — are efficient cities more crowd dependent or cooperative? Or are crowd supportive cities smarter and more innovative? This isn’t a chicken-egg question but the result of a positive feedback loop underscoring the notion that collaboration breeds inventiveness.

I could see why maybe Copenhagen can be a very crowded area. By looking at the photo you can see the little to no space the house have from one another, and when reading; either people walked or rode a bike to get places can be eco-friendly, but can also annoy the many other citizens trying to get by on there every day life.

Something about the empty driveway next to his off-campus house in Georgetown always bugged Nick Miller. But he couldn’t quite put his finger on it. Not until a trip to a Baltimore Ravens’ game took him through Federal Hill. There, driving with friends, desperate for parking, Miller saw residents holding up cardboard signs advertising spaces for rent. And it hit him. Sure, parking demand reaches naturally epic proportions on game days around M&T Bank Stadium; Miller, who grew up in Harford County, knew that. But finding convenient downtown parking in Baltimore and Washington, D.C., was always like searching for a needle in a haystack. Could digital technology, he wondered, fill those empty driveways, lots, and parking pads with actual cars in real time?

The sharing economy -- it's the buzzword of the moment. Uber, Airbnb, TaskRabbit, all companies that helps us share rides, space, chores, but does everyone really get to participate in that sharing?

A basic dictionary of the “Sharing Economy,” “Sharing Cities,” and communitarianism | Kosmos Journal
“Sharing” is more than a trend: for some, it is the engine of their businesses, for others, the touchstone from which to design cities to live in; for some, a way of life. But in any case, it would be good to differentiate these three environments to understand what they really represent and their limits. We must not let the good feelings and words that really mean things end up being emptied and defrauding us.

Founded at the idea stage in 2012, in 2013 Pieter and Harmen set up the actual shareNL platform and started building on it. The team has now grown to include four more team members helping them in their work.

Imagine a city where everyone's needs are met because people make the personal choice to share. Where everyone can create meaningful livelihoods. Where fresh, local food is available to all. Where affordable housing and shared transportation are abundant. Where the people decide how the city budget is spent. Where the people own the utilities and the banks, and even create their own currencies. Imagine a city where the more we share, the more we have.
