RIGHT TO THE CITY

#ENDSARS & POLICE BRUTALITY

In relation to #Endsars movement in Nigeria, we identified a number of factors which led to a tension between the government and the youths of the country.

The Special anti-robbery squad (SARS) have been directly responsible for the consistent harassment and death of innocent youths all over Nigeria which has led to protest of Nigerians all over the world demanding for the complete abolishment of the police unit. Simply, the #EndSars movement is a result of the country’s underlying issues of corruption, poor governance and class inequality.

Police brutality in Nigeria is sustained by whoever pays the policing forces- therefore the police are the hand of the elite political class. To add, government-sponsored local media houses refused to report on the protests, resulting in civilians resorting to social media to bring about global awareness of the atrocities.

CASE STUDY: URBAN FLOOD RISK IN BANGKOK, THAILAND

As part of the counter-proposal, I have decided to expand the interrogation of future climate models and potential of material flows of plants to include vulnerable urban centres in the Global South. I believe this is an intelligent progression of The Honourable Harvest project as it creates spatial and urban constraints for the project.

This investigation has started in Bangkok, Thailand. The city is especially vulnerable to natural disasters such as tropical cyclones as a consequence of climate change.
