One of the core pillars of Fairville’s work is revolved around the activities of the eight Fairville Labs – spaces where the co-production of knowledge has been activated as a strategy to tackle urban inequalities and enhance democratic practices at the local level. These Labs have empowered local communities, especially marginalized and often overlooked groups, by recognizing their lived experiences as valid and valuable forms of expertise.

The Fairville Lab Stories on the ArcGIS Story Maps presents key experiences of Fairville labs spread across very different geographical and socio-political contexts – from informal neighbourhoods in Dakar to the outskirts of Cairo, from post-industrial areas in West Attica to working-class districts in Marseille, Brussels, Berlin, and London.
