Shared Cities Atlas

Shared Cities Atlas examines how the idea of sharing, now spreading through architecture and public life worldwide, plays out in seven cities across Central Europe. Its case studies chart existing sharing practices and emerging areas of activity, placing them within research essays, data and photographs.

The book traces how notions such as the right to shape the city, common resources and the urban commons have come to define current architectural debate, marking a shift toward thinking in terms of sharing. Here, sharing is framed as a kind of urban social contract, a claim to remake the city that often carries creative or critical aims.

The atlas showcases inventive forms of sharing motivated by idealism and collective action. These include shared use of space and buildings, of experience and knowledge, of data, and of collective histories.
