PeriferiasVerticales

Vertical Peripheries is an academic channel for sharing research and dialogue on the transformation of Colombia’s urban peripheries through high-rise social housing developments. It is part of a joint project between York University (Toronto, Canada) and the CIDER at Universidad de los Andes (Bogotá, Colombia), funded by Canada’s Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). Here you will find videos, webinars, interviews, and reflections on how commodified social housing redefines the relationship between planning, citizenship, and urban inequality in Colombia and Latin America. This channel seeks to open a critical dialogue with students, professionals, and communities interested in the challenges of emerging vertical peripheries.
