From: On Behalf Of Agyeman, Julian
Colleagues,
Some of you may be interested in a report I did this summer for Friends of
the Earth UK on sharing in cities.
The take-home message is:
"A reinvention and revival of sharing in our cities could enhance equity,
rebuild community and dramatically cut resource use. With modern
technologies, the intersection of urban space and cyber-space provides an
unsurpassed platform for a more inclusive and environmentally efficient
sharing economy. "
The report has four sections:
1 what is currently - or could be - shared;
2 why is sharing desirable;
3 what enables and drives sharing; and
4 what opportunities are there to both enhance sharing and overcome barriers
to it?
If interested, you can access it here
