What is the Fab City Summit?
The Fab City Summit is the annual gathering of the Fab City global initiative. It brings together the global network of thinkers, makers, practitioners and policymakers who believe in the potential of cities as life-giving systems. It is an annual check-in on our roadmap to shift from linear to regenerative cities by implementing the PITO to DIDO model and bringing productivity back to cities and their bioregions.
The Fab City roadmap has been in development by the Fab City global initiative since 2014. But this year is especially important. Join the Fab City Summit 2020 and help shape this Time of Transition.
Don't forget!
We're going online this year with a Live! session on YouTube from 14.00 CEST on October 14 featuring Neil Gershenfeld, Liz Corbin and Indy Johar. On October 15 from 14.00 CEST we'll meet online for small working sessions with representatives from the Fab City Network. You need to register for day two.
Time of Transition
Read from the Fab City Blog, by Fab City Foundation instigator, Tomas Diez:
'The way we are going to build our future starts today. The opportunity we have now is one we must put all our energy into; with new codes, rules, laws, and agreements. The need for productive cities, citizens, and bio-regions has already been proposed at critical times in history and this is another chance we have to do it. By taking the lessons learned in the past, from the people that could see this coming, voices which we haven’t listened to enough.

We do not want to be back to normal. Because normal did not make sense.'
