Resumen
In recent years, ‘sharing cities’ has spread globally, starting in 2012 when Seoul declared its intent
to pursue sharing economy strategies [1]. Other cities then followed, including Amsterdam, Boulder,
and Rio de Janeiro. Their pursuits to become sharing cities also intended to face major contemporary
urban challenges, including global urbanization [2] and resource depletion [3]. Sharing cities make use
of (often smart) technologies to connect a larger number of users to idling assets, hence to be ‘shared’ by
a wider population, rather than being individually owned. Within this trend, assets that are typically
shared include vehicles and rides, bedrooms and accommodation, as well as tools and competences.
