Abstract
The main purpose of this study is to critically diagnose problems in the urban innovation policy project which has been relying upon the mainstream sharing economy model in terms of tracing back on the main discussions during the first and second phase of the ‘Sharing City Seoul’ policy (2013-2020). So far, the ‘Sharing City Seoul’ policy has uncritically accepted the logic of efficiency through the mediation of idle resources rather than preparing a way to produce and cooperate the common resources in the civil society. This study criticizes the policy stance of ‘Sharing City Seoul’ that has been carried out so far, and rather emphasizes the urban commons’ path to expand the alternative value of common-resource production and conviviality of actual civic independence and cooperation. In other words, it uncovers the fundamental limitations of the sharing economy ‘Sharing City Seoul’, which has mostly relied on the effects of existing resource brokerage, and exploring new possibilities for the inclusive ‘city commons’ plan led by civil society.
