Zipcar (NASDAQ:ZIP) priced its IPO at $18, above the expected range of $14-$16 per share. The Cambridge, Massachusetts based company sold about 9.68 million shares, giving the company a value of approximately $175 million. Zipcar offers self-service vehicles for use by the hour or by the day. It is a membership-based company and claims over 560000 members, which the company refers to as "Zipsters." Zipcar offers more than 30 makes and models and has operations in New York, Chicago, London, Washington DC, San Francisco, Toronto, Philadelphia, Boston, Seattle, Vancouver, Baltimore, Atlanta, Portland and Pittsburgh, as well as 230 colleges and universities serving a potential 1.7 million students.

The company has an 80% market share in the US and an approximately 50% market share worldwide, based on its total membership. Zipcar will begin trading today on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol "ZIP."
Zipcar Inc plans to offer 8.3 million shares in its IPO at between $14 and $16 each, according to a filing yesterday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Zipcar is selling 6.67 million shares itself, which would raise between $93 million and $107 million for the company. The total IPO value is now estimated to come in between $116 million and $133 million, far higher than the $75 million the company estimated last June.

What is Collaborative Consumption? And who is doing it? Collaborative Consumption is the organized sharing, bartering, lending, trading, renting, gifting, and swapping through online and real-world communities. From social lending (Zopa) to car sharing (Zipcar) and co-working (HubCulture), from peer-to-peer rental (Zilok) to collaborative travel (Air BnB) and neighborhood sharing schemes (WeCommune)... people are already using the principles and dynamics of Collaborative Consumption—without even knowing it. Along the way, they are getting the same fulfillment and benefits of actual ownership while saving money and lowering their environmental impact. Today, more and more consumers are opting for access over ownership, and use over possession. The philosophy behind this idea is not new—carpooling, staying with friends and relatives when traveling, checking a book out from library—are age-old examples of Collaborative Consumption. But today, propelled by web-enabled technologies and economic and environmental imperatives, a surge is taking place with new sharing models and business opportunities emerging every day. The authors explore this phenomenon with numerous examples, and by dividing companies and organizations into three systems (see a detailed list on the following page and on their site): Producer service systems: * Pay for the benefit of using a product without needing to own the product outright. Disrupting traditional industries based on models of individual ...

UCLA cityLAB's contribution to "Workshopping", the American Pavilion at the 2010 Architecture Biennale in Venice, Italy, is conceived around illustrating, by means of four pilot projects, the LAB's basic operating system: the "incubation" process in which our thinktank initially identifies a problem, harvests a series of strategies to address it, then chooses one to develop and test/implement on a real site. Each of the projects, concisely presented in model, diagrams and perspectives (or digital projection), is shown as an outcome of this three-step gestation process. The exhibit explains how, in the last stage of work, we identify funding sources, and assemble a group of select collaborators centered around the architectural team, who provide needed expertise in other fields relevant to the project-at-hand, as well as implementing entities (clients: elected officials, developers, etc.) and policy makers. The fourth pilot, Playa Rosa, grew out of cityLAB's WPA 2.0 competition and symposium, which explored the potential that the government's recent infrastructure initiative offers for the revitalization of cities, and the role architecture might play therein. Developed by Roger Sherman Architecture and Urban Design for cityLAB, Playa Rosa is located on the site of a failing commercial center near Compton, California, and adjacent to a major public transit station. The project puts forward a new model of community revitalization for the post sprawl era, in the form of a ...
