Environmental design

Initiatives such as "Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design" (http://www.CPTED.net) have directly derived practical urban planning principles to limit the damage of terrorist attacks. These principles include:

  • stand off distances, to keep people and bomber vehicles away from targets,
  • laminated glass,
  • framed structures,
  • bombshelter areas etc.

Other CPTED inspired core issues that builders, architects and the housing associations should take into consideration throughout the planning process for designing buildings and public space are:[1]

  • Orientation
  • Good overview
  • Visibility
  • Lighting
  • Accessibility
  • Vibrant urban environment and multiple social functions
  • Responsibility
  • Avoiding conflicts
  • Ensuring maintenance

For the success of the historical implementation of CPTED the following four factors occur together:

  1. Willingness of the participants to be part of a security partnership
  2. Integration of citizens in the planning process through communication and participation methods
  3. Decentralization and localization
  4. Commitment
