Since 2014, our distributed community has pursued a long-term vision: to make cities produce (almost) everything they consume by 2054. Our value lies in our comprehensive approach to addressing social inequality, environmental regeneration, digital innovation, and cultural heritage both locally and globally, ultimately contributing to the goals of the Global Green New Deal.
Our Network spans over 52 cities, regions, and countries worldwide, emphasizing the importance of resources, community engagement, and political action needed to achieve this challenge at the local level while collaborating and sharing knowledge globally. Our Collective, consisting of innovative leaders in academia, business, and policy, dedicates their time and effort to steward our 40-year roadmap and strategic agenda.
At the core of our initiative is the Fab Lab Network, a globally distributed network of fabrication laboratories founded by researchers at MIT. These labs provide access to tools and knowledge that empower individuals to create and innovate.
This distributed infrastructure and global community form the foundation of the Fab City Full Stack approachâa multi-scale strategy for long-term urban transformation.
