The STCUP (Security Tool for Conceptual Urban Planning) was developed to assist the urban planner in the early stages of the planning process, with the Urban Securipedia being one of its components. Urban Securipedia is developed as a component of this tool (see concept level tools) by the Vitruv consortium under lead of TNO as part of the EU FP7 project VITRUV. Althought the information provided has been gathered with the utmost care, most information was gathered from open sources and the consortium or its constituent partners make no warranties about accuracy or completeness of the information, see the disclaimer.

The following VITRUV partners were involved in the development of the Urban Securipedia:

Ceuss The CEUSS Center for European Security Studies at Sigmund Freud Private University Vienna acts as an interdisciplinary centre of frontier research and employability-oriented teaching in European security research.

Among the research activities is the analysis and refinement of methods of security policy analysis, and the development of a framework for the analysis of risk and (in)security from a theory of culture point of view.

CEUSS also does scenario planning for future European security research. CEUSS mainly follows approaches from political science, sociology, political psychology and cultural studies. Levels of analysis cover urban safety, national and international security and transversal risks such as disasters. CEUSS staff have background in political science, psychology, public administration and cultural studies, including gender issues.
