Shareable is a non-profit media platform used for news, action and a connection hub for the sharing transformation. Shareable was co-founded by former corporate strategist Neal Gorenflo in 2009 in San Francisco, California. From there, Shareable created the Sharing Cities Network in the attempt to connect all sharing initiatives on an urban level (Marsh, 2013). Shareable works both as an online magazine, promoting sharing practices among local communities through the means of storytelling, and as an action and connection hub organizing and coordinating the Sharing Cities international network.
Relevance for TRANSIT
Shareable’s Sharing Cities was approached for this study for two reasons. In the first place, the discourse and practices of sharing appear to connect many of the social innovation-practices and discourses that TRANSIT finds interesting. In the second place, TRANSIT is interested in learning more about the urban and spatial dimension of transformative social innovation.
