Population growth and an ongoing run on the metropolis present cities with new challenges. One result is the homogenization of uses and the displacement of certain groups to the outskirts. Our previous understanding of space as property, our resources must be questioned and to be used meaningfully. Sharing models such as co-working and co-living are solutions, but they usually require restrictions on the absolute space requirements of the individual.
As the economics drive more and more people to the city, the close relationship of population growth and the demand for land for urban development is becoming a challenge for the future. To tackle this uprising issue, sharing properties and spaces have become a trend, and not just to maximize the usage of resources, but to also benefit both users and the owners. Besides the traditional methods, advancement of current technology and near future can be implemented to ease the challenge.
