Join us in celebrating 10 years of the Fab City Global Initiative, a pioneering movement transforming cities worldwide. Over the past decade, we’ve empowered communities with the technology to create sustainable, innovative, and regenerative urban futures.

The Fab City Global Initiative, launched in 2011, is a collective of civic leaders, makers, urbanists, and innovators dedicated to transforming urban industrial paradigms for a sustainable future.

The core Fab City strategy is development of a global network of cities that are part of a sustainable ecosystem of production and knowledge: from the 3d printer at home, to the neighborhood Fab Lab, to the city factory to global production infrastructure.

2024年3月19日 · Understanding the fab city vision of building locally productive and globally connected self-sufficient localities is a critical step toward becoming a Fab City.

The Fab City Full Stack is a framework that helps cities and regions interpret the Fab City challenge and guides them to implement it in a multiscalar and ecosystemic approach. It assists cities in defining their own Strategic Action Plan that reflects their local community and bioregion.

The Manifesto presents the ten values and principles that the Fab City Global Initiative commits to implement in order to enable the urban transition towards locally productive and globally connected cities.
