Stakeholder-rated methods are required to make well-considered decisions regarding cultural, ethics and legal aspects of security issues in urban development processes.
t.b.e
List of requirements from related projects and so far VITRUV work (in particular D1.1):
- identify and involve all relevant actors in the process of urban planning, including active citizen participation;
- consider the non-linearity based on the fact that in urban systems all phases of the common crisis management cycle may be experienced simultaneously in different parts of the city;
- reflect that resilience in cities should be grounded in a holistic view of sustainability;
- appreciate individual perceptions of security (e.g. on the level of regional or national patterns);
- identify areas of concern and address them specifically, without extrapolating to the planning of the city as a whole;
- combine urban planning with raising of citizens' awareness;
- contribute to identifying individual as well as group-specific vulnerabilities and increasing resilience;
- based on the acknowledgement that public urban space is about living and evolving, not about being watched and observed, a planning tool must always allow ample space for later changes and adaptations;
- combine material aspects with social aspects of culture, processes built upon by the community safety approach that sees a general shift in political and public conceptions of security from situational prevention to safety of a community as a whole;
- contribute to adequate foresight and scenario modeling, taking into account citizens´ acceptance and acceptability of alternative futures.
These requirements have only started to be addressed as part of relevant national and European projects, such as:
- DynASS – Dynamic Arrangements of urban security culture
