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.
