Abstract

[Cities are environments of threat, fear, confusion and violence. When major political or social events are staged, these fears are hightened. The Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) is one such event. Held every 2 years, this event is a meeting of former colonies and the former colonial power. Therefore clashes between notions of safety and security have an impact on such international events. Leanne McRae studies the impact of an urban lockdown upon the arrival of CHOGM.]
