Houston

Houston, Texas, a diverse metropolis of 2.3 million residents, grapples with its surveillance infrastructure's historical ties to racial oppression as it navigates the expansion of security technologies, prompting calls for inclusive policy dialogues balancing safety and civil liberties. In our Edgelands Houston project, we aim to address this challenge.

Medellín

Once notorious for its high crime rates in the 80s and 90s, Medellin has transformed into a leading example of social innovation and urban development, garnering international recognition and prestigious awards, including the Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize. This remarkable turnaround has positioned the city as a compelling destination for visitors, investors, and global South governments.

Geneva

Geneva is a city of contradictions: simultaneously provincial and cosmopolitan, conservative and daring, tradition-bound yet innovation-friendly, business-like but hopeful in its humanitarianism.
