Platform Urbanism Data Sharing (PUDS) Policy Hub

By making the specific policy language of local government data sharing programs more discoverable, comparable and accessible across jurisdictions the PUDS Policy Hub helps policy-makers, activists, and academics make sense of these regulations on sharing economy platforms—and the debate surrounding them.

Our team has aggregated dozens of local government laws, ordinances, administrative rules, permit requirements, and other kinds of policy regulations that require sharing economy platforms to report data to public officials.
