Comprehensive approach

A comprehensive approach to urban planning reflects the fact that in urban systems all phases of the common crisis management cycle may be experienced simultaneously in different parts of the city.

While a part of the city may be struck by an incident (such as a natural disaster or terrorist attack), other parts may be under warning, evacuation, or even in an immediate post-disaster phase with restoration (e.g. of supply-related infrastructure) beginning. Still other parts of a city may be in the role of observers and drawing immediate lessons for risk assessment, mitigation, prevention and preparedness. An ideal tool would consider this non-linearity. Adding to this non-linearity, an ideal approach to consideration of security aspects in urban planning should also reflect that resilience in cities should be grounded in a holistic view of sustainability. Research has proposed to consider the following five interconnected functional components: social, economic, political, demographic, and environmental.[1] Several state of the art technologies to integrate security information are available in order to facilitate comprehensive information of urban planners on security aspects.

In terms of concept, the comprehensive appraoch is an reaction to acknowledged limits of the risk reduction approach[2]: By the mid-1990ies, risk reduction was found not to meet public safety needs in risk-prone areas. The solution was sought in a "comprehensive approach" that at the same time would retain the local focus of the community safety approach. As a result, crime control was connected to the general idea of maintaining a normatively good order in a society, reaching from criminal up to environmental issues, and at the same time the concept of devolution of responsibility for enacting such a “comprehensive community safety strategy”[3].
