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 of the urban area, from a security (and connected safety) perspective. Urban Securipedia assists the urban planner in making more informed decisions across the three levels of urban planning: Concept, Plan and Detail levels.
To this end, the Securipedia contains a wealth of information on security, brought into relation with the typical areas of interest of the urban planning process.
Urban Securipedia has been developed with the end-user in mind and, accordingly, provides not only free browsing, but also a number of convenient entry points:
| 1. Enter by urban function/issue (select from below) |
2. Enter by Urban Object Type (Hover over different land uses below) |
3. Enter by specific keyword (And see top right of screen) |

Urban Securipedia is one of two inter‐related components of computer assisted support for 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 how to use guide.
Urban Securipedia is developed as part of the Vitruv project (Vulnerability Identification Tools for Resilience Enhancements of Urban Environments), co-funded by the European Commission within the Seventh Research Framework Programme (2007-2013).
