The research, commissioned by the Brussels-Capital Region, studies a wide range of sharing initiatives in the Brussels region. The sharing initiatives are mapped based on their business model. We study the influence of the sharing economy on the current economic structure, on legislation and on social inclusion. In addition, we consider the possible contribution of partial initiatives to a more sustainable city. Both ecological sustainability and social sustainability are central in this research.
