Published in conjuction with the Sharing Cities Summit 2018, which took place from 12-15 November 2018 in Barcelona (Spain), this study identifies and analyses 100 platforms in Barcelona that have a socially responsible approach and that are examples of new ways of interacting between citizens so they can self-organize and help economic activities to thrive. The platforms operate in 28 different economic areas, from the creation and sharing of collaborative culture, to energy or agro-ecological consumption. The study goes on to detect a stage in which collaborative production, supported by digital platforms, will expand and have the potential to break into any area of economic activity in the city.
