Call for Papers - UPR Editors’ Special Issue
Disruptive Urbanism? Implications of the ‘Sharing Economy’ for
Cities, Regions, and Urban Policy”
The emergence of the “sharing economy” and the “disruptive technologies” that underpin this new movement/paradigm have profound yet largely unexamined implications for urban policy. Advocates of this movement claim that they can ‘solve’ urban problems such as urban congestion and housing affordability and bring about new economic opportunities for individuals and communities, by unleashing spare capacity within existing homes, offices, and transport systems through services such as Airbnb (short term accommodation), Shardesk.net (office space) and Uber (ridesharing).
However, there is growing public concern over health and safety risks to users and the wider community (particularly in relation to ridesharing platforms), as well as impacts on local housing supply and neighbourhood amenity (when permanent homes are converted to online short term accommodation) and even job security. Simultaneously, there is also frustration that outdated laws, policies and regulations, particularly urban planning controls, may inhibit innovative forms of sharing that may yield social, environmental, and economic benefits. Scholarly research on these practices and the ways in which urban policy makers are responding remains very limited.
Addressing this gap, the aim of this special issue is to canvas the ways in which different forms and modes of the “sharing economy” are manifesting in cities and regions throughout the world, the implications of this for urban living, and how policy makers are responding to these changes. To this end, we are interested in contributions which shed light on the following broad themes and topics:
· different forms of urban “sharing” across food, accommodation, transport, energy, water, finance, or other sectors and their implications for urban form, infrastructure, housing, mobility and urban life.
· ways in which different social groups participate and/or are overlooked in the “sharing economy” and the benefits and risks for different groups in terms of employment, income and housing security, mobility, and general well-being.
· how planners and policy makers are responding to different forms of urban sharing and the efficacy or otherwise of these responses;
· the political and governance dimensions of how different forms of the ‘sharing economy’ should be regulated; and
· theoretical insights on the relationship between the sharing economy movement and wider processes of globalisation and neoliberalism as they affect cities and urban policy making.
Papers may draw on data for a particular city or case study, use a comparative approach, but in line with the geographical scope and focus of Urban Policy and Research, findings should be generalisable so as to inform urban policy debates in Australasia and more widely.
Paper proposals should include a title, a 250/300 word abstract that highlights the key research issue/question, theoretical and methodological framework, key findings and implication for urban policy. Proposals should also include up to 5 key words, name of all authors plus a short author bio, and full contact details.
Submission date for proposals: January 31, 2017
Submit proposals to: Nicole Gurran [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>
(Full papers will be submitted via manuscript central for blind peer review).
The authors of papers selected for inclusion in the special issue will be invited to present draft papers at a special one day symposium to be held at the University of Sydney in June 2017.
Final papers must be submitted by 31 July 2017, and will undergo double blind peer review before being accepted for publication in Urban Policy and Research.
Online publication of the special issue is scheduled for December 2017, with print publication to follow.

Hi all,
Attached is a mock up of the call - we don't have a logo per say so I've adapted our cover. (Feel free to suggest changes if you don't like it .)
The last version of Nicole's doc had a comment from Paul M - has this been resolved?
The comment was: What about having something in the title that speaks to disruptive technology – “Disrupting Urban Policy? Implications of the ‘Sharing Economy’ for Urban Policy”
Or Urban Disruptions: The Implications of the ‘Sharing Economy for Cities/Regions and Urban Policy
Also, I've happily added my name to the editors list (thanks Nicole)
Cheers, Geoff

Looks good Nicole – thanks for leading this. Geoff – can you get the journal logo on it and pdf it so folk can also email out through Replan and various international networks too – as well as UPR web site front page please.
Let’s discuss options for peer review and timing – an early start would be good – but does this preclude us selecting the best and ideal mix post symposium?
Can we aim a t hard copy in first edition 2018 to maximise citations?

Hi all – draft attached incorporating Paul M’s changes and a suggested new title
Disruptive Urbanism? Implications of the ‘Sharing Economy’ for cities, regions, and urban policy
I’ve listed editors in order of email trail response, but please jiggle around if you like and Scott/Anthony/Geoff feel free to chime in.
I’m suggesting an online publication by December 2017 – no idea if this is feasible but we need to keep it fast stay on the front foot. One option is draft papers to peer review before the symposium. Feedback?
Geoff – how do we take this from a word document to something that has the journal logo and can go on the website? And be blasted around via email?
Thanks all
Nicole

Hi Nicole
This looks great and it is good to see the UPR team leading this. I agree with Paul’s additions – getting ‘disruptive’ into the mix is good. I am also happy to join the Ed team. I like your idea of holding a symposium in June 2017 – a good way to ensure we get papers lined up in a timely way too! If we organise to hold the June UPR meeting in Sydney that would also cover air fares of the Ed Board to that Symposium.
Regards
Carey

Hi Nicole,
Great call for proposals and I'd be pleased to join the editorial collective. Can we give an indication of when the Special Issue is likely to appear in print?
Cheers

Hi all I’ve attached a draft call for papers for the special issue on the share economy, as we discussed. Please amend / add at will.
I am keen for all editorial board members who are interested to be editors of this so I have left the editor section blank.
Also, depending on what you all think, I would like to host a symposium at the University of Sydney for accepted draft papers to be presented and discussed, I can cover people’s accommodation costs and the hosting for the day (possibly some domestic airfares but I can’t promise that yet), and we’d probably do an evening public event too. It would be a UPR event but co-hosted by my urban housing lab – I have some funds for this type of thing.
Pending on your reactions, I’d like to get the call out soon so I can mention it at the ACSP conference early November.
Best

OK. There is an early flight from Perth on Friday morning that gets in at 12 noon so that means we could do 1pm start.

Subject: Next Board Meeting
Dear all,
Good to see you all last week.
Re the date of the next Board meeting, can I suggest that it takes place on the afternoon of Friday 25th November 2016 – I can’t do Monday meetings for the rest of this year, plus I would like to tie our meeting in with another one in Melbourne.
If that’s good with everyone then it would be good to get a move on with booking flights so as to take advantage of lower fares.
Regards
