This blog is part of the dissemination objectives of the COST Action “Crime Prevention through Urban Design and Planning”.

The aim of this Action is to contribute to structuring existing knowledge and to developing innovative approaches on how to build more secure and safe cities. Studies have shown that there is a correlation between the structure and organization of urban space and crime: new criminological theory supports this point of view. The Justice and Home Affairs Council of the EU has underlined that crime prevention through design is a successful and effective strategy for crime prevention and needs to be supported. Despite this, new projects are being implemented all over Europe without considering safety criteria, creating urban areas where crime or fear of crime can make life difficult.

The Action develops new knowledge and innovative approaches, putting together theoretical thinking and practical experience. The scientific programme works simultaneously on one hand on innovative approaches deriving from research and experts and on the other hand on the know-how acquired through best practical experience of participating countries.
