A meal, a toolkit or… salt? What was the last time you shared something with your neighbors? In the first of two episodes made possible by the RESHARE project, The DRIFT Transitions Podcast goes to Oslo to explore the promise of shared housing an mobility.
Shared mobility is key for future transport systems that don’t break the planet and ruin where we live. So what if we could greatly accelerate such mobility by combining it with a way of living in which we are less isolated and more connected?
We talk to Emilia Wigum of OBOS Living Lab about their experiments with shared forms of housing to bolster community care and sustainability initiatives. With looming crises, rising prices and demographic changes imminent, she dreams of cities and communities that work more like a living lab, experimenting with flexible and shared housing and mobility.
We then hear from Tanu Priya Uteng, senior researcher at the Institute of Transport Economics and RESHARE project leader. She argues that there are huge benefits to connecting how we design and use housing and mobility. But, warns Tanu, where there’s a value for the collective while the responsibility rests on individual shoulders, finer-grained rules and incentives are needed to make the leap, otherwise we get stuck.
