Abstract

The sharing economy is experiencing explosive growth around the world and is forcing us to rethink many aspects of our lives. The sharing economy is neither a panacea nor a silver bullet. However, it is an extremely useful, effective tool by which to improve life in cities. It is a new lens by which we can unlock value in assets all around us. So the better thing to do - for city leaders, resilient communities and wellbeing - is to lean in.
