shareNL, a private sharing economy knowledge platform initiated their idea to make Amsterdam into a Sharing City. shareNL created a network of ‘ambassadors’ throughout the city. The city is formed by not only its citizens and the municipality, but also entrepreneurs, enterprises and for example knowledge institutions shape the city of today. Early 2015, all ambassadors convened and together they officially launched "Amsterdam Sharing City." The municipality was involved from the very beginning. They already stood out by being one of the first municipalities in the world to develop regulations around Airbnb.
The purpose of the Sharing City initiative is to create a playground for pilot projects. An urban living lab where all stakeholders pilot with this new phenomenon and share insights and experiences. Amsterdam already houses a large number of promising sharing economy platforms, but it’s also up to more ‘traditional’ organizations like for instance SMEs, NGOs and local governments to start addressing the sharing economy. From startups to corporates, from community center to public library, from an insurer to the airport: they’re all ambassadors putting Amsterdam on the map as a city that has sharing on its mind.
