Sustainable Cities – (Article)

Description

The purpose of this article is to describe possible ways to sensibly incorporate safety planning and sustainability in tomorrow’s cities. This is illustrated with experiences using a holistic form of CPTED from two different contexts. Examples from North America demonstrate an approach followed in a developed country, while experiences from a developing country are illustrated with examples from South Africa.
