- The primary output of a major research project on the politics of security and risk in Bogotá, Colombia; Endangered City is based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork and archival research conducted over a twenty-month period (August 2008-April 2010), with several follow-up visits. Analysis and writing was completed over the next 3.5 years. This is the first book to fully examine the rise of security and risk as paradigms of urban planning, governance, and development and to consider the far-reaching implications for the cultural, social, and political life of twenty-first-century cities, whilst addressing urgent theoretical and practical questions pertaining to present-day Colombia.
