Citilab is an experimental centre set up to actively spread technological culture, a pioneering venture for Europe which aims to demonstrate just how far the innovative and creative juices of citizens will take them if they have an adequate set-up at their disposal. A city laboratory where researchers, entrepreneurs, university students and companies may interact in a real and stimulating environment, experiment and work together on joint projects, sharing what they know with others.

citilab - a post digital fun palace? “In 1963, the British architect Cedric Price created the idea of a Fun Palace. "Every town should have a space... where the latest discoverings (sic) of engineering and science can provide an environment for pleasure and discovery," he said. We need Fun Palaces for the post-digital era.” Carlo Ratti - architect and director of the SENSEable City Lab at MIT
