SHARING CITIES ACTION

Last 19th-21st November, 20 cities from around the world and 150 actors from the international sharing ecosystem gathered in the Stand Lab at the Smart City Expo World Congress, which held the Sharing Cities Action Encounter 2019. A great variety of actors worked to co-create a plan for the future of sharing cities: business platforms, civil society, networks, experts, activists and research centers, as well as global cities: Amsterdam, Atlanta, Barcelona, Berlin, Bologna, El Prat de Llobregat, Gothenburg, Grenoble, Lisbon, Maribor, Montreal, Moscow, New York City, Seoul, Stockholm, Taipei, The Hague, Umea, Vienna and Wroclaw have been part of it.

In response to the Declaration of Sharing Cities, the Sharing Cities Task Force has undertaken to foster collaboration among cities so that together they can implement real action plans that help to tackle the challenges and leverage the opportunities of the platform economy. The aims include creating a global network of cities that work hand in hand to ensure city sovereignty; promoting socioeconomic development; collaborating in regulation negotiations and negotiations with platforms; and adapting and defending labour and digital rights, public innovation, specific criteria for platform differentiation and the promotion of platforms with a positive impact.
