Sommario/riassunto

The work makes a case for understanding cities as shared spaces and venues for collaboration; and proposes policies and practices to share cities fairly. It argues that with modern technologies the intersection of urban space and cyberspace provides an unrivalled platform for more just, inclusive and environmentally efficient economies and societies rooted in a sharing culture.
