Sharing Cities Network

The Sharing Cities Network connects local sharing activists in cities around the world for fun, mutual support, and movement building.  Fifty cities around the world began mapping their shared resources in October and November 2013 during Shareable's first annual #MapJam. This was just the beginning of the Sharing Cities Network - an ambitious project to create one hundred sharing cities groups by 2015.

What’s the sharing transformation? It’s a movement of movements emerging from the grassroots up to solve today’s biggest challenges, which old, top-down institutions are failing to address.
Behind these failing industrial-age institutions are outmoded beliefs about how the world works – that ordinary people can’t govern themselves directly; that nonstop economic growth leads to widespread prosperity; and that more stuff leads to more happiness.
Amid crisis, a new way forward is emerging – the sharing transformation. The sharing transformation is big, global, and impacts every part of society.
