Abstract

While a growing body of studies has investigated the collaborative governance (CG) of dockless bike-sharing schemes (DBSS) worldwide, few offer close descriptions and analyses of stakeholder interactions in specific social contexts. Our study fills this gap by examining the development of CG of DBSS in Sydney, Australia between 2017 and 2020. The methodology is guided by an Integrative Framework for CG, drawing on qualitative analysis of policy documentation and semi-structured interviews with key DBSS participants from the public and private sector. Our findings reveal context-specific drivers and dynamics that shaped the development of particular forms of CG within Sydney’s DBSS.
