This publication raises critical socio-political questions and offers insight into how cultural practitioners and organizations can engage publics in larger dialogue. It responds to the widening gap between wealth and poverty, the polarizing politics of fear and paranoia, and the radically conservative social agenda that has fundamentally impacted urban planning policy and legislation in the United States. These developments have led to increased privatization, the erosion of public culture, and the polarization of the individual and the collective. Against this backdrop, Latin America has begun to chart a very different course, an alternative future.
Latin American governments, from Brazil to Colombia, have produced a paradigm shift in matters of urban development, seeking like no other place in the world to reconnect public policy, social justice, and civic imagination. Slought convened three leading thinkers concerned with these issues mathematician, former mayor of Medelln, now governor of Antioquia Sergio Fajardo; ecologist and director of the Tijuana river estuary Oscar Romo; and architect and urban thinker Teddy Cruz at Don Felix Caf along the San Ysidro/Tijuana border on June 3, 2011. What methodologies and insights can we as cultural practitioners and concerned citizens learn from these urban experimenters in participatory politics?

Latin American governments, from Brazil to Colombia, have produced a paradigm shift in matters of urban development, seeking—like no other place in the world—to reconnect public policy, social justice, and civic imagination. Slought convened three leading thinkers concerned with these issues—mathematician, former mayor of MedellÍn, now governor of Antioquia Sergio Fajardo; ecologist and director of the Tijuana river estuary Oscar Romo; and architect and urban thinker Teddy Cruz—at Don Felix Café along the San Ysidro/Tijuana border on June 3, 2011.
