In 1993, a group of Panamanian businessmen conceived the idea of creating a "Socratic Plaza" in the facilities of the Reverted Areas (former Canal Zone), receiving the support of the Government of the Republic the following year. To carry out the initiative, the City of Knowledge Foundation was created in July 1995. Through Decree Law No. 6 of 1998, the State arranged to transfer 120 hectares of the former Clayton Fort to the City of Knowledge Foundation. The formal transfer of the base to Panama took place on 30 November 1999. The whole was received by the National Government, which in the same act handed over to the Foundation the lands and facilities that today make up CdS. Two days later, on December 2, 1999, the 11 people who at that time made up the project team entered the site. What is City of Knowledge? Just a few minutes from Panama’s city center and across from the Panama Canal, the 120 hectares and over 200 buildings of the former Clayton military base have been transformed into the City of Knowledge. Here, entrepreneurs, scientists, thinkers, artists, community leaders, as well as experts from the government, NGOs, and international organizations work together to develop initiatives that trigger social change.
