| Event Description |
The “Urban Violence and Security Policies in Barcelona and Bogotá” project has now entered its last phase of dissemination of research findings. This presentation will focus on the fieldwork carried out in both cities and the exemplary city-to-city co-operation between them. Cities can be viewed both as challenges, and as corresponding opportunities for enhancing human security, a vision supported by Foreign Affairs Canada’s Human Security Programme. The “Human Security: Urban Safety and Security Practices” project will finally reinforce the human security concept through cases studies.
