Sharing Cities - An Evening With Shareable's Neal Gorenflo

We'd like invite you to an intimate discussion with Neal Gorenflo, executive director of Shareable on the evolution of the sharing economy, and his organization's new book "Sharing Cities: Activating the Urban Commons", which showcases over a hundred sharing-related case studies and model policies from more than 80 cities in 35 countries.

"Sharing Cities" chronicles a growing global movement in which communities, organizations, and local governments are increasingly responding to challenges by turning to a basic human practice: sharing. By sharing their labor, space, goods, and more, people can overcome scarcity by building and maintaining vital common resources. The book serves as a practical reference guide for community-based solutions to urgent challenges faced by cities everywhere. It is a call to action meant to inspire readers, raise awareness, and strengthen the sharing movement worldwide. "Sharing Cities" shows that not only is another world possible — but that much of it is already here.
