Examples of sharing economy platforms are proliferating, generating new concerns on the exploitation of local resources, ethical and intellectual properties. Necessary changes are required to the regulatory frameworks of our cities. This paper proposes an application of blockchain technology for planning governance purposes. This new cutting-edge technology, currently under-exploited in applications for smart cities planning, may represent a fundamental building block for the digitalization of the sector. We propose blockchain-based management systems (BMSs) as new governance tools to improve traceability, transparency, and decentralization of transactions in the sharing economy. We build a BMS prototype for the management of co-working spaces (CWSs). In particular, we show how a blockchain can be used to track transactions between users (e.g., rent payments), and to advertise or store information about a given space (e.g., building specifications, IP conceived within the space). A large amount of data will be permanently and securely stored on ledger and made available to both institutions and corporations, providing a wide range of new governance tools and services to local authorities of the future. Similar BMSs can be developed for different types of buildings or public services purposes.

共享经济平台的例子正在激增，引发了对当地资源、道德和知识产权开发的新担忧。我们城市的监管框架需要进行必要的改变。本文提出了区块链技术在规划治理方面的应用。这种新的尖端技术目前在智慧城市规划应用中未得到充分利用，可能代表该行业数字化的基本组成部分。我们提出基于区块链的管理系统 (BMS) 作为新的治理工具，以提高共享经济中交易的可追溯性、透明度和去中心化。我们为联合办公空间 (CWS) 的管理构建了 BMS 原型。特别地，我们展示了如何使用区块链来跟踪用户之间的交易（例如，租金），并宣传或存储有关给定空间的信息（例如，建筑规范、空间内构思的 IP）。大量数据将永久安全地存储在分类账上，供机构和公司使用，为未来的地方当局提供广泛的新治理工具和服务。可以为不同类型的建筑物或公共服务目的开发类似的 BMS。
