Project detail

Fab City Zagreb as a living lab

Fab City Zagreb is developing a model that bases local development on knowledge, digital fabrication and active community involvement. Particular emphasis is placed on connecting educational institutions, civil-society organisations, public bodies, entrepreneurs, researchers and citizens through shared projects and open spaces for learning and making.

This approach lets each community develop its own identity while drawing on global knowledge and experience.
