Résumé:
The future of humanity is urban, and the nature of urban space enables, and necessitates, sharing—of resources, goods and services, experiences. Yet traditional forms of sharing have been undermined in modern cities by social fragmentation and commercialization of the public realm. In Sharing Cities, Duncan McLaren and Julian Agyeman argue that the intersection of cities’ highly networked physical space with new digital technologies and new mediated forms of sharing offers cities the opportunity to connect smart technology to justice, solidarity, and sustainability. McLaren and Agyeman explore the opportunities and risks for sustainability, solidarity, and justice in the changing nature of sharing.

Résumé:
This book is about the "public realm," defined as a particular kind of social territory that is found almost exclusively in large settlements. This particular form of social-psychological space comes into being whenever a piece of actual physical space is dominated by relationships between and among persons who are strangers to one another, as often occurs in urban bars, buses, plazas, parks, coffee houses, streets, and so forth. More specifically, the book is about the social life that occurs in such social-psychological space and the forces that threaten it.

Résumé:
Memories carried by water drench our biographies and shared history. In this book, edited and curated by Moniek Driesse, the past, present, and future imaginaries that govern our relationship with water are permitted to draw maps that can serve as tools for urban administrators, researchers, and citizens who live the reality determined by them. With this approach, long-term memories carried by the urban landscape reflect into possible narratives of hope for the future. The focus is on Mexico City, where rivers have turned into highways and subterranean basins are drying out, presenting new dangers to the city.
