What is the sharing economy, and what is a sharing city? How can the principles of the grassroots sharing economy be applied to towns and cities in ways that strengthen local economies, empower the underserved, and increase community resilience?

Join us for a Transition US TeleSeminar where we explore these questions and provide you with a packet of viable policy solutions that can remove barriers to the grassroots sharing economy in your region.

Join the discussion to learn, share, and leave with an action plan for local policy change in the areas of food, transportation, housing, and jobs.
