“Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody.”
― Jane Jacobs
We have all been to places that feel unsafe. But what is it that gives us that uncomfortable feeling? Are we designing projects that will create unsafe spaces?
The principles of CPTED apply to a wide range of projects from town planning, building design to walkways and cycleways. Start the CPTED process early and reap the rewards.
This webinar looks at the principles of CPTED with examples of how we can design spaces that reduce the risk of crime occurring.
We will go through the process of undertaking a CPTED assessment starting from the desk top study, including gathering crime statistics, through to the site inspection.
A big part of CPTED is getting people out on the streets and enjoying public spaces. This provides the opportunity to create beautiful places and ways of introducing fun elements.
Learning outcomes:
Participants will understand
- what is the basis of CPTED?
- what sorts of projects can CPTED be applied to?
- what can we do?
- gain a practical guide to a CPTED assessment.
Intended audience
Anyone involved in the planning, design, management or enforcement of any facility that is used by people.
