The Shared City Atlas applies the new, global 'sharing paradigm' in architecture and the public sphere to a site-specific situation in seven cities in Central Europe. Mapping current practices of sharing and new fields of of action in case studies, the book contextualizes the phenomenon in research papers, data, and photography. The ideas of a 'right to the city', of common resources, or 'the urban commons' - all of which are in vogue in contemporary architectural discourse - illustrate the paradigm shift towards a sharing perspective. In 'sharing cities' the emphasis lies in the right to remake the cities as a form of urban social contract with a specific creative or critical agenda. This book presents creative forms of sharing driven by idealistic positions and collective actions, thus offering new approaches to sharing of spaces and architecture, experience and knowledge, data and collective histories.
