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]].

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 tool (SecuRbAn), work closely together, thus supporting the urban planner in ways that are described in the [[When to use the Concept tool|when to use]] page. The [[How to Use the Concept Tool|how to use]] page provides a step-by-step guide to the use of the tools.
