The project explores the contribution of digital platforms to Social Sharing, a term used for the nonreciprocal, social aspect of Sharing, in the context of a local neighbourhood. Sharing is considered a way to create more sustainable ways of living and empower community engagement in cities. The project used participatory design processes to create a conceptual prototype of a Sharing Platform. The platform proposes a digital whiteboard as a communication tool among residents and a board of Sharing actions modules to trigger residents' imagination on what can be shared. The outcomes of the process also entailed connections among stakeholders and the potential of new sharing initiatives. The project provides insights into methods for designing feasible solutions for the future using playfulness. It discusses how trust and access are established through digital platforms. Finally, it argues for the role of the latter as facilitators for social exchange in place.
