We work closely with our partners, but never in silo, as every project feeds our Network’s global commons. The Fab City Foundation welcomes and reviews all requests for collaboration that aligns with our manifesto and strategic action plan. We are currently particularly interested in unfolding projects in the southern hemisphere.
