Enabling local circular economy practices through maker symbiosis: the case of Istanbul
conference contribution

through collaborative production in seven pilot cities. This endeavour requires initiating a sustainable
maker symbiosis, through activating links among various maker ecosystem actors. This paper provides
a snapshot of the initial steps of this, i.e. the deployment of a series of online participatory design tools
engaging citizens and other maker ecosystem actors to collaboratively design pilot activities through
the case of Istanbul, the largest pilot city of the project. Local Future Stories was developed for İstanbul
citizens to envision the future everyday life in a circular neighbourhood and revealed shared city and
neighbourhood values in terms of collaborative production and local circular economies. İstanbul
Microsite was developed to introduce overall project goals, İstanbul priorities and Local Future Stories
to maker ecosystem actors, and to invite them to share pilot activity ideas as part of the pilot. These
initial activity ideas were then further developed through online co-design workshops with various maker
ecosystem actors, identifying potentially interested stakeholders, drawing links among them and among
activity proposals, and developing the steps for each activity from conception to finalization. This paper
presents the major outcomes of the tools used and the process while discussing how they can activate
links among maker ecosystem actors to initiate maker symbiosis.
