This webinar will be held in both English and Spanish. Translation from English to Spanish and vice versa will be provided.
Neighborhoods are some of the strongest determinants of both economic opportunity and criminal activity. Does improving connectedness between segregated and unequal parts of cities import opportunity or export crime? Using new administrative data from Medellín, Colombia, and the rollout of a cable car system, researchers have modeled how the decisions of individuals on where to work and whether to engage in criminal activity are affected by changes in transportation costs.
In this webinar, Jorge Tamayo (Harvard Business School) will present his research on the relationship between the spatial distribution of criminal activity and legitimate employment, and the connections between segregated neighborhoods. Luis Fernando Agudelo (Medellín Cómo Vamos) will comment on the implications of this work. A 10-minute Q&A will follow the presentations.
We very much hope you will be able to join us. If there are others in your network who you believe would benefit from participating, please feel free to forward this invitation to them.
