The document discusses enabling more sustainable cities through promoting sharing economies and one planet lifestyles. It provides examples of how cities can integrate sharing initiatives in areas like transportation, food, goods, housing and working. Partnerships between cities, businesses, and citizens are important to enhance sharing opportunities. A pathway is outlined that involves assessing status quo, mapping opportunities, visioning a one planet city, setting targets, stakeholder involvement, and evaluating impacts. The goal is to catalyze sustainable lifestyles and systems through city-level initiatives that create value rather than just mitigate risks.

What if current challenges were overcome?
(Possible Example)
Food:
3.0t/a ,mostly vegetarian
Household goods:
0.5t/a, efficient, different and sufficient
Housing:
1.3t/a, 20 m2/person, zero net energy
Mobility & Tourism:
2.0t/a, 10 000 km/a, no car
Health & well-being:
0.9t/a, Improved health, well-being, happiness
Electric power:
0.3t/a, 1000 kWh via wind and solar
But the 8 tons can also be distributed differently, depending on the needs, wishes and local
circumstances of a household

Vision: sustainable footprint of 8 tonnes in 2050

Emerging Innovative Sustainable Option
Bringing sharing economy to the city
attraction of
• Start-ups and creative industries
• Investments
• Know-how carriers
promote sharing city via Innovative approaches by
• expanding sharing infrastructure,
• promoting existing sharing enterprises
• incubating sharing economy startups
“Sharing Economy initiatives are connecting citizens with each other bottom-up. This way they are
continuously organizing themselves, providing services to citizens and reaching into fields which
traditionally were administered and controlled by the city administration. We see a need to
coordinate and cooperate with these initiatives, in order to not lose control over systems
and services which are to be provided and monitored by the city government.
