Security and risk have become central to how cities are planned, built, governed, and inhabited in the twenty-first century. In Endangered City , Austin Zeiderman focuses on this new political imperative to govern the present in anticipation of future harm. Through ethnographic fieldwork and archival research in Bogot???, Colombia, he examines how state actors work to protect the lives of poor and vulnerable citizens from a range of threats, including environmental hazards and urban violence.
