Civic culture

Use of civic culture by citizen participation in addressing security aspects related to urban planning

  • reduces inequality and social tension;
  • incorporates the knowledge, productivity, social and physical capital of the poor in city development;
  • increases local ownership of development processes and programmes.[1]

This can be realized by several public participation methods and checklists to integrate different security aspects, legal aspects and ethics aspects into the strategic planning of public spaces:

  • Methods to determine risk aspects of the public security culture;
  • Methods to determine legal aspects in planning of public spaces;
  • Methods to determine ethical aspects in planning of public spaces;
  • Dimensions to consider in order to enhance citizens perception of safety in urban crowded places;


The purpose is to develop participatory knowledge and “create contexts in which planners and multicultural groups can continuously learn and experiment, think systematically, engage in meaningful dialogue, and create visions that energize action and inclusion in city planning.”[2]
