It seems that barely a day passes when we're not hearing about incidents of harm and antisocial behaviour in our urban areas. We know it's a persistent and thorny problem. We also know that urban design is playng a vital role in creating safe, vibrant, well-functioning cities.
Last year, WSP and Mahi a Rongo | The Helen Clark Foundation produced a new discussion paper on Safer Cities by Design, which recommends bringing together diverse perspectives and expertise in establishing safe urban places.
This webinar is for anybody with an interest in urban design actions that can help reduce the incidence of crime, and change how we use, respect and value our city spaces - especially local and central government decisionmakers.
Hear from our panel of experts on the latest in coordinated urban design interventions, an update on current developments in Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) in practice, and the inextricable link between crime and the perception of safety.
Panel:
Anne Cunningham - 2022 Acting WSP Fellow - The Helen Clark Foundation
Anna Michels - Principal Urban Designer, WSP in New Zealand
Jared Thomas - Technical Principal - Behavioural Sciences, WSP in New Zealand
Moderator: Kali Mercier - WSP Fellow at The Helen Clark Foundation
