Local Governments and the Sharing Economy10:00am to 11:00am Pacific Time

Join Rosemary Cooper and Vanessa Timmer from One Earth, the lead authors of the Local Governments and the Sharing Economy Roadmap for a discussion about the role that cities can play in aligning sharing economy activities with their own objectives, including moving towards sustainability.

The roadmap describes a sustainability filter which we use to analyze shared mobility, spaces, and goods and community sharing, and to take a lighter look at shared food and energy.

  • Discover what cities including Montréal, Austin, Vancouver, Portland and Toronto are doing to lead the way and what roles local governments can play in the Sharing Economy.
  • Find out if car sharing, co-working spaces, clothing swaps and other Sharing Economy activities reduce our ecological footprints and increase social connection and resilience.
  • Explore our analysis of Sharing Economy actors from community innovators to for-profit players such as Airbnb and Uber to the public sector.
