- https://www.theguardian.com/local-government-network/2012/apr/11/local-government-2020-challenges-opportunities - Amsterdam is part of a growing sharing cities movement and its 'Action Plan on the Sharing Economy' states that it is taking a “proactive attitude towards the sharing economy”, encouraging activities that will benefit “innovation, social inclusiveness, entrepreneurship and sustainability”. „We have always approached new trends with an open mind in Amsterdam, even if they are very disruptive”. “We don’t automatically see them as a threat - we see them both as a challenge and an opportunity for the city.„ https://www.nesta.org.uk/blog/how-amsterdam-developing-collaborative-economy-works-everyone The Sharing City platform was developed by shareNL - commissioned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs - after recognizing a need for a common place for cities, individuals, governments, organisations and other interested parties with an assembled overview of the sharing economy initiatives on city level in the Netherlands. Founded in 2013, shareNL works with start-ups, corporates, government, research institutions and individuals to understand the collaborative economy and run practical projects.

- - In the course of just a few years, the sharing economy has progressed from a few scrappy start-ups to an industry of mega-companies worth tens of billions of dollars. These platform-based businesses run on equal parts tech innovation and contract labor, with cities serving as the underlying foundation for success. To put it simply, cities make the sharing economy work—they provide the dense, free agglomeration of customers, labor, and infrastructure these companies’ business models require. But it remains an open question whether cities and the sharing economy can be friends or enemies. In the beginning, cities and platforms navigated an adversarial relationship, as companies like Uber, Lyft, and Airbnb proudly worked to “disrupt” (or “break,” as the term of art was once known) existing laws and regulations. Cities fought back by imposing fines, taking companies to court, sending cease and desist orders, and generally seeking to regulate the companies the way they did existing businesses. That early antagonism created a challenging environment for long-lasting partnerships. But now, as these companies mature and begin to reach market saturation, these earlier missteps are being corrected—and new opportunities are being found. Broadly speaking, city leaders say that they welcome the innovation and improved services that these new technologies provide to their constituents. But clear challenges remain: 51% of cities describe their relationships with sharing economy companies as good, while 33% say they are very poor — leaving little middle ground. https://www.citylab.com/equity/2018/02/the-sharing-economy-needs-to-be-better-partners-with-cities/552626/
