Urban (in)securities. #2 Defending the City of the Future
Criminal and terrorist attacks, protests, the increase of urban pollution and the rising feeling of insecurity affect our cities and raise widespread concern regarding the consequences for our identity and way of life. How can the city remain a “public” space? How do city planners, political scientists and cultural commentators envision the city of the future?

Urban (in)securities. #1 The City as Target
Natural disasters, terrorist attacks and epidemics impact the physical appearance of our urban environment and evoke fears about the visible and invisible insecurities targeting our cities. Urban spaces are identified as an interface for vulnerability and contagion with a growing demand for the state to defend and police public places.

Taksim, Tahrir, Occupy & Co. #2 Visuality and Urban Space
The Lab Talk concentrates on the visualisation of urban spaces during civil resistance incidents and protests. The digital sharing of these visuals on social media ‘virtualises’ and instantly ‘internationalises’ these spaces, facilitating the immediate production and transportation of news and laying the ground for interaction among protesters and between protesters and non-protesters.

Taksim, Tahrir, Occupy & Co. #1 Political Meaning of Urban Space
The Lab Talk explores the political meaning of urban space, highlighting how incidents in everyday urban spaces affect (inter-)national politics and focussing on civil resistance and protest movements that frequently occupy streets, public squares, financial and governmental districts or central city parks.
