Remixing excess capacity

Robin Chase

Journal of Urban Regeneration and Renewal, 2011, vol. 4, issue 4, 354-357

Abstract: Excess capacity is a free resource, already paid for and in place. Thinking creatively about what constitutes excess capacity and tapping into it can result in fast, powerful, significant, and low-cost innovation and value. Governments, organisations and individuals should think creatively about their assets (physical assets, online data, networks, experiences and expertise) and find ways they can tap into, open up and repurpose it. Examples cites include Wikipedia, Flickr, Cyclovia, Couchsurfing, AirBnB, Shiply, AppsForDemcracy, Open SF, MassDotDev, Braddock Pennsylvania, Antoine Dodson and Auto-Tune the News.
