URBAN
LAW AND
THE NEW
ECONOMY
Trends in the sharing economy have spurred complex
legal and regulatory issues that have moved to the
center of urban policy debates, from Berlin to Seoul to
New York City. As web-based, peer-to-peer companies
challenge traditional regulatory paradigms, state and local
governments are trying to respond creatively to rapidly
changing digital and economic landscapes.
This conference will explore the relationship between
the sharing (or “peer-to-peer”) economy and economic
and community development, consumption, ownership,
mobility, and a shifting urban workforce. It will investigate
diverse approaches to legal and regulatory issues facing
city governments, entrepreneurs, workers, consumers,
and residents in today’s dynamic technological and built
environments. The goal of the event is to advance new
possibilities for problem solving in this transforming area of
urban law and entrepreneurship.
