The Fab City Research Laboratory (launched by Fab Lab Barcelona) is a design and make think tank located at IAAC in Barcelona, that works in the development of the practical elements of the Fab City vision in collaboration with MIT’s CBA and Fab Foundation. Fab City takes the ideals of the fab lab —the connectivity, culture and creativity— and scales it to the City, with a global network of cities, regions and countries that already comprises, which will be more than 25 by the end of 2017.

Furthermore, since 2013 Fab Lab Barcelona has developed Fablabs.io (fablabs.io), the online social network and official platform of the global Fab Lab Network, where Fab Labs are mapped, knowledge is shared, projects are developed and where the community discuss these topics."
