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 page. The [[How to Use the Concept Tool|how to use]] page provides a concise step-by-step guide to the use of the tools. Further assistance with the use of the tools can be found in the accompanying [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7rxBbyySsUbcS1mZUxILWJpYXM/view?usp=sharing manual].

A tool to asses the potential risk arising from planned or considered changes to the urban environment ('Securban' tool) is available free for use here. Instructions to its use are provided here.

Urban Securipedia came into existence under the EU FP7 project VITRUV and was designed to provide extensive security-related information and tooling for those involved in the design of urban areas (i.e. urban planners). Later, as a result of the EU ISF project PRoTECT, Urban Securipedia was updated to include information and tooling for protecting events held in public space against terrorist attacks.
