What is a Fab City Hub
Fab City Hubs are open spaces for city making. They work as a physical interface to connect actors within a Fab City Prototype (usually a neighborhood) and foster collaboration and exchange of skills and knowledge between local communities in a given territory. Fab City Hubs can also be considered Creative and Productive Hubs: they are third places and meeting points for neighbors, citizens, makers, organizations and businesses, connecting these different local stakeholders with the city and its political power and institutions (e.g., the City Council). These spaces are able to integrate and orchestrate different local agendas in urban areas and regions, such as circular economy, smart cities, digital transformation, urban manufacturing and agriculture, as well as connect them with global networks of innovation in these areas. The Hubs expand the role of Fab Labs and Makerspaces, as they expand their reach, and can connect with other local manufacturers within a neighborhood, city or region. They are the operational enablers of the Fab City vision, and vehicles to implement the Fab City Full Stack approach at the local level.
