Environmental design
Initiatives such as "Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design" 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:
- Willingness of the participants to be part of a security partnership
- Integration of citizens in the planning process through communication and participation methods
- Decentralization and localization
- Commitment
