Field notes
The project traces its roots to Takeover, a shorter format that began in 2017 and previously visited Miami, New York, Silicon Valley, Atlanta, and Paris. Its expanded model combines reporting with mixers, conversations, shows, or other city-specific events, then leaves the resulting guide and films online. The homepage presents Atlanta 2026 as the current edition and lists Boston, Columbus, Miami, Montréal, New York, Orlando, Paris, and Philadelphia as possible future locations.
