The Fab City Commitment

Cities, regions and countries join the in an official capacity because they believe the efforts of their own city can be enhanced and their own sustainability can be better achieved through collaborative network participation, shared resources and interdependence. The cities network share working practices and knowledge with the wider network as well as a deep alignment of purpose and culture.

What do cities joining the Fab City project agree to, if anything?

When a member joins the Fab City network, this does not imply that it immediately becomes a Fab City. Member cities have made an agreement to partake in the challenge in collaboration with other cities throughout the world. Currently there are no cities considered to be a Fab City. We are working on developing metrics to show the amount of resources cities import to sustain the human life and its associated activities. Those metrics will serve as a tool to measure the impact of the actions taken in each city in the world and to share it globally.

How does Make Works fit into that?

New cities may join the Fab City network on a yearly basis at the annual gathering of the Fab City Global community, usually held in summer. For more information visit the website and explore the and how to .

Fab City members - cities, regions and countries - agree to commit efforts and resources in order to achieve the 2054 for cities to produce at least 50% of the energy, food and products they consume, and to deploy circular economy strategies for the re-localisation of production, and the technological empowerment of citizens.

is part of a suite of tools that help Fab City members to understand what resources they have available to them. Make Works maps traditional and emerging industries in a local area. We include manufacturers' circular practices and waste materials in listings where available, to inform a users decision to approach them.
