Fab City Hub
A co-creation hub to design the future.
The Challenge
To create a Fab City prototype which practices the regeneration of food, energy, and materials at a neighborhood scale.
Our Solution
The establishment and operation of a physical space, to bring community members closer to urban regenerative practices through hands-on event programming.
Type of Project
The Fab City Hub is a self-funded project by Fab Lab Barcelona.
Applied Technologies
Experimental urban food production technologies. Skill-sharing sessions. Knowledge exchange.
Cities are currently some of the worlds worst polluters. This is being challenged by the Fab City Global Initiative, which pledges for cities to produce everything they consume by 2054. This not only includes the manufacturing and commercial sectors, but also requires a shift in citizen and local-based perspectives.
Fab City Hub
The Fab City Hub is a project from Fab Lab Barcelona and Fab City Global Initiative. The Hub represents a neighbourhood prototype of Barcelona Fab City, which is open and collaborative in nature. The Fab City Hub is a space for citizens to approach the Fab City vision, translating meta ideologies into skill-sharing sessions, talks, and events. The Hub works with citizen-empowerment within the fields of food, energy, and materials and is a physical space to communicate the Fab City ideology.
