Contesting Urban Borderscapes in Latin America:
Investigating governance through b/ordering processes in self-help neighbourhoods
We are excited to announce a new research project exploring the impact of migration on self-built neighbourhoods in Latin America, with case studies in Moravia, Medellín (Colombia) and La Carpio, San José (Costa Rica).
The project investigates how new migrants perceive and adapt to the social fabric of these neighbourhoods, and how their arrival shapes the existing community dynamics. Through photography, we aim to capture the migrants' own perspectives on the spaces they inhabit and how cultural borders are both constructed and broken down.
