Fab City as a Learning Ecosystem

Fab City as a Learning Ecosystem presents one of the most up-to-date conceptual frameworks behind the Fab City movement. Written by Tomas Diez in 2026, the paper explains how the global network of Fab Labs is evolving into a distributed learning infrastructure capable of supporting new models of production, governance, and territorial resilience. The publication introduces the Fab City Full Stack as the shared protocol that connects local experimentation with global knowledge flows, and positions the Fab City Challenge as the mechanism that activates this system through cycles of collaboration, prototyping, and learning across territories.
