The Urban Uncertainty project, based at the London School of Economics, is a collaborative investigation into emerging ways of envisioning and governing the future of cities. Combining empirical research with theoretical exploration, it seeks to develop a set of conceptual tools for analyzing and comparing the diversity of ways in which urban governments and populations orient themselves towards the uncertain and the unknown. In the context of heightened anxiety about climate change, financial crisis, armed conflict, political instability, natural disaster, and disease outbreak. Case studies are drawn from key sectors of urban governance, such as security, environment, finance, health, and infrastructure. The city of Bogotá features prominently due to its international reputation as a model of “good governance,” but it is compared with research on other cities from the global North and South.
