This book adds a critical perspective to the legal dialogue on the
regulation of 'smart urban mobility'. Mobility is one of the most
visible sub-domains of the 'smart city', which has become shorthand
for technological advances that influence how cities are
structured, public services are fashioned, and citizens coexist. In
the urban context, mobility has come under pressure due to a
variety of different forces, such as the implementation of new
business models (e.g. car and bicycle sharing), the proliferation
of alternative methods of transportation (e.g. electric scooters),
the emergence of new market players and stakeholders (e.g. internet
and information technology companies), and advancements in computer
science (in particular due to artificial intelligence). At the same
time, demographic changes and the climate crisis increase
innovation pressure. In this context law is a seminal factor that
both shapes and is shaped by socio-economic and technological
change. This book puts a spotlight on recent developments in smart
urban mobility from a legal, regulatory, and policy perspective. It
considers the implications for the public sector, businesses, and
citizens in relation to various areas of public and private law in
the European Union, including competition law, intellectual
property law, contract law, data protection law, environmental law,
public procurement law, and legal philosophy. Chapter 'Location
Data as Contractual Counter-Performance: A Consumer Perspective on
Recent EU Legislation' of this book is available open access under

This Handbook grapples conceptually and practically with what the
sharing economy - which includes entities ranging from large
for-profit firms like Airbnb, Uber, Lyft, Taskrabbit, and Upwork to
smaller, non-profit collaborative initiatives - means for law, and
how law, in turn, is shaping critical aspects of the sharing
economy. Featuring a diverse set of contributors from many academic
disciplines and countries, the book compiles the most important,
up-to-date research on the regulation of the sharing economy. The
first part surveys the nature of the sharing economy, explores the
central challenge of balancing innovation and regulatory concerns,
and examines the institutions confronting these regulatory
challenges, and the second part turns to a series of specific
regulatory domains, including labor and employment law, consumer
protection, tax, and civil rights. This groundbreaking work should
be read by anyone interested in the dynamic relationship between
law and the sharing economy.
In Blockchain Regulation and Governance in Europe, Michele Finck
examines the relationship between blockchain technology and EU law
and introduces the theme of blockchain governance. The book
provides a general introduction to blockchains as both a
regulatable and a regulatory technology and outlines the
interaction between distributed ledger technology and specific
areas of EU law, such as the General Data Protection Regulation. It
should be read by anyone interested in EU law, the relationship
between law, innovation and technology, and technology governance.
