Abstract: |
The sharing city is a normative framework for sharing resources collaboratively, fairly, and sustainably. Because many sharing practices require some face-to-face interactions, the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted these practices in unprecedented ways. This article aims to assess how Covid-19 has impacted sharing activities and practices and discusses these impacts focusing on four key points: (i) the enduring alternative of sharing in the commons; (ii) the uneven adaption of sharing practices; (iii) the rise of digital surveillance; and (iv) the civic delight of sharing. The article concludes with a reaffirmation that despite the challenges presented by the pandemic on the sharing city project, there is no better time than the present to accelerate the momentum of rediscovering and redefining sharing systems in cities. In short – the Sharing City will not wither. |
