Urban sharing in Seoul
(2023) In Urban Sharing- Abstract
- “Urban Sharing in Seoul” explores the landscape of the sharing economy in the city context and is a result of a Mobile Research Lab conducted by five researchers from Lund University in 2022.
The focus is on three sectors: space sharing, mobility sharing, and sharing of household goods. For each sector, drivers and barriers to the sharing economy are explored, associated sustainability impacts and impacts on incumbent sectors are discussed, and the institutional context is analysed. Furthermore, the role of the Seoul Metropolitan Government in engaging with the sharing economy and specific governance mechanisms employed are described.

The focus is on three sectors: space sharing, mobility sharing, and sharing of household goods. For each sector, drivers and barriers to the sharing economy are explored, associated sustainability impacts and impacts on incumbent sectors are discussed, and the institutional context is analysed. Furthermore, the role of the Seoul Metropolitan Government in engaging with the sharing economy and specific governance mechanisms employed are described.
We find that Seoul’s sharing economy, manifested by the Sharing City Seoul programme, is a successful undertaking by the Seoul Metropolitan Government that has contributed to implementing more than 140 sharing projects and raised Seoulites’ awareness about sharing. The city already embraced the concept in 2012 and has developed a long-term plan for its implementation. However, the SCS is just one part of Seoul’s sharing economy, the bulk of which is driven by large companies and conglomerates, just like in many global cities.
