Abstract

Abstract: With the accelerating rhythm of people's life, shared economy flourished unprecedentedly and plays a significant role in business market. However, the impact of shared economy on urban sustainability has been little considered. This paper is linking shared economy with urban sustainability from the perspective of social, economic and environmental sustainability. Investigations reveal that both positive and negative impacts on the above sustainable aspects existed. Therefore an effective design for regulation is needed. Meanwhile, further research is supposed to fill in the gap by exploring international-compared as well as empirical work.
