During its two years, Urban Sharing research team produced many academic and popular science publications. In particular, it delivered two full city reports on urban sharing in Amsterdam and Toronto. From these reports, the readers can learn about the landscape of the sharing economy in each city context. Specific focus is on three sectors: sharing of space, mobility and physical goods. For each sector, we discuss the drivers for and barriers to the sharing economy, the associated sustainability impacts, the potential impacts on incumbent sectors, and the institutional context of sharing.

Insights contained within these reports may support the Cities of Amsterdam, Toronto and other Sharing Cities, as well as urban sharing organisations and third-party actors in their strategic work with the sharing economy for sustainability.

EU officials, local cities, and companies share the excitement about the popularity and the possibilities of these solutions, which include car-pooling or bicycle sharing, but also sophisticated applications to find the quickest – and still greener – itinerary to reach your destination.

Although the community, which residents’ age ranges between 50 and 90, underlines maintaining a structure without hierarchy, each resident bought and owns her own apartment.
