What Kind of Society Should We Aim for Beyond "Sharing"?

From share houses and car sharing to social media, the concept of sharing spaces, objects, and information reveals values distinctly different from the private ownership and consumption of the mass production and consumption era. "Sharing," which has rapidly gained traction in recent years, prompts us to consider what it brings to our lives and society.


Business in 10 years, life in 10 years, the future of our cities in 10 years. What will become possible in the society around us?—The fourth session, "The Future of Sharing," held on July 21st, serves as a culmination of the previous three symposia. While the earlier sessions focused on thinking about the current state of sharing, this session aims to collectively contemplate the future where the concept of sharing becomes more commonplace. Guests include Masataka Baba, Makoto Miura, and Dominic Chee.
