What Kind of City is the Fab City?

Abstract

Abstract This contribution analyzes the rationale behind the Fab City Project as well as the mobilizations that it has created and grounds it in prior theoretical work and related imaginations of cities in the field of urban anthropology and urban transformation. The main aim is to provide a more consistent and scientifically profound integrative framework to which future research from different disciplines can relate serving as a common ground of what can be understood as a Fab City. The focus is predominantly set on the alternative model of urban functioning that the Fab City project introduces. This model suggests the rethinking and reorganization of production and consumption processes – or the reorganization of flows – in a cosmo-local urban space.
