Creative Commons Global Summit 2017 - Toronto, Canada

The Uberization of everything has led to a resurgence of sharing, but it can be characterized by its highly transactional and, in some cases, exploitative tendencies. Cities and community organizers are already acting upon an alternate vision of sharing — one based on the urban commons. A major question for the Creative Commons community is how we can be instrumental in this sharing cities movement, and bolster community-owned resources through emerging sharing practices. Using the World Café format, participants in this session will discuss and brainstorm ways this community and our ethos can be actively applied to support community-centered sharing initiatives.
