What is Urban Transport in the Sharing Economy Era: Collaborative cities about?

More than half of the global population lives in cities, an increase of 15 percent over the last 35 years. Driven largely by population growth and a search for better living conditions and work opportunities, this trend is expected to continue. With 80% of its population living in cities, Latin America is the second most urbanized region on the planet and is estimated that by 2050 approximately 90% of its population will be urban (UN-Habitat, 2012). This rapid pace of urbanization creates enormous social and economic challenges that threaten to jeopardize the economic and environmental sustainability of cities. The development of new technologies that improve management of metropolitan areas and the quality of life of their residents is key for addressing these challenges. Information and communication technologies, for example, reorganize value chains, improve organizational management and change the way that people work. In turn, such advances promote new ways of inhabiting cities.
