The Mass Distribution of (Almost) Everything

The Mass Distribution of (Almost) Everything lays out the conceptual foundations of the Fab City movement, arguing for a shift from centralized industrial production toward distributed, digitally enabled, and locally grounded manufacturing systems. Through essays and interdisciplinary perspectives, the book explores how cities can regain agency over production by leveraging digital fabrication, open knowledge networks, and human-centered technology. It frames the transition from importing products and exporting waste toward models where data circulates globally and materials circulate locally. As a core Fab City publication, this work articulates the vision of productive territories that redesign the relationship between production and place, setting the intellectual basis for the 2054 agenda.
