Why should every creative city need a fab lab? Hell I'd say why should every city, town and community should have an Open Design City.
But that's the object of this discussion, so feel free to come along and participate in the dialogue.
This discussion makes the case for Fab Labs everywhere, and hopefully we'll also receive some challenges for a healthy and flourishing dialogue. We've invited key decision makers and activists from Berlin and Lisbon to address the topic of "why every creative city needs a fab lab". I wish I were there.
