Urban Securipedia is an urban [[safety]] and [[security]] knowledge base for local government and other organisations responsible for or involved in the safety and security of people and objects in the urban area. Examples of Securipedia users are: [[Urban planner|urban planners]], municipality staff and law enforcement agencies responsible for the security of public space, and public event planners.

Urban Securipedia is an urban [[security]] (and connected [[safety]]) knowledge base which forms part of a complimentary tool with the objective of assisting and supporting the [[urban planner]] to make more informed deliberations and decisions on the [[Proper planning and sustainable development|proper planning and sustainable development]] of the urban area, from a security (and connected safety) perspective. Urban Securipedia assists the urban planner in making more informed decisions in the first (concept level) of three distinguished [[Concept, plan and detail level| levels of urban planning]]. It is part of a complete tool set to support each of these levels, including [[Concept level tools|concept level tools]], [[Plan level tools|plan level tools]] and [[Detail level tools|detail level tools]].

To this end, the Securipedia contains a [[Structure of the knowledge base|wealth of information]] on security, brought into relation with the typical areas of interest of the urban planning process.

Urban Securipedia is one of two inter‐related components of computer assisted support for [[Urban planner|urban planners]], to support decision-making with regard to the security of cities concerning concrete problems or goals. Each component, namely the Knowledge Base (i.e. this Urban Securipedia) and the Risk Assessment (SecuRbAn), work closely together in supporting the urban planner in a way that is described in the , as described in the [[When to use the Concept tool|when to use]] page. The [[How to Use the Concept Tool|how to use]] guide provides a step-wise guide to the use of the tools.
