Which governance mechanisms do they employ and which roles do they play? There is a series of five short films exploring governance roles through which municipalities engage with and shape the sharing economy in Amsterdam, Berlin, Gothenburg, London, Malmö and San Francisco. The films are based on the research done in two research projects: Sharing and the City (funded by Swedish Research Council Formas) and Urban Sharing research programme, which has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No 771872). The films are part of the Sharing Cities MOOC developed at the International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics (IIIEE) at Lund University, Sweden, and funded through the Sharing Cities Sweden project. ...more
