The Future of Resharing Practices in Norwegian Neighborhoods: Perspectives From Residents and Stakeholders

ABSTRACT This paper builds on the conceptual framework of resharing, defined as a set of integrated practices that combine spatial‐sharing and mobility‐sharing solutions to support neighborhood development by the authors. The empirical foundation of the study is drawn from four workshops—three conducted with local residents, and one with representatives from public agencies and private mobility providers in the Oslo region. The findings reveal a persistent gap at the heart of the region's sustainable consumption and circular economy strategies. Although shared solutions are increasingly discussed within these frameworks—and awareness of both shared mobility and shared spaces is growing among stakeholders and residents—the combined implementation of these two dimensions remains fraught with challenges. Currently, efforts to deliver shared mobility and shared spaces as a cohesive experience are hindered by structural and operational limitations. Nonetheless, resharing practices hold significant potential to become central to strategies promoting sustainable consumption and the circular economy. Input from both residents and institutional stakeholders is crucial in order to address these challenges and advance the development of effective resharing models. The paper concludes by outlining a set of strategies for embedding urban resharing into the Oslo region's broader development agenda.
