A Shared Future: How the Sharing Economy Impacts the Future of the City

1.5CM/LU Pending

The growth of the sharing economy is expanding and changing the possibilities for how people will live and work, and creating new opportunities for entrepreneurship. This panel will highlight the implications for how home-sharing and co-working could impact the built environment and where regulatory oversight may or may not be needed. Specific topics we will explore include research about the impact of the sharing economy on Oregon’s rural economies, the policy implications of home-sharing websites, and how co-working spaces may change the way that the real estate industry thinks about employment spaces.
