CPTED is a great way to get soul-draining places

Auckland urban design thinkers think the opposite

Light attracts people thus attracts apparent crime

No light means people put off thus no people = no crime

I am serious
This is how especially Council designers, and CPTED think in Auckland
Thoughtful urban design includes lighting.

Darkness limits movement and creates fear, especially at night. Lighting makes it possible for everyone to move safely and confidently after dark.

Hoy, en mi TED talk sobre CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Enviromental Design) hablaré sobre este ancestral elemento disuasorio del delito/conducta antisocial en vía pública: las patruyayas.
Las yayas al fresco son un poderoso instrumento de control social informal y prevención de la delincuencia.

Más yayas al fresco en nuestros barrios 🙌
-Bermúdez, homicidios, ¿qué tenemos?

I’m officially CPTED certified now and my official recommendation is to put skateable benches everywhere to “activate the space.”

hollingsworth asks a non-question about turf fields and forgets the acronym CPTED

the level of preparation for this hearing, as always, is asymmetrical

I am* and you are correct.

*I'm published on terrorism prevention through environmental design (TPTED) an adaptation of crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED), have taught inservices on this, & done it (pro bono) for houses of worship.

Police can no longer be trusted. Invest more thoughtfully in your City Planning Department instead, with a focus on implementing a robust plan for Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED), alongside expanding social services. These two things would reduce crime way more than police.

KSM drew candidates from several colleges, including the College of Sports, Exercise, and Recreation (CSER), the College of Nursing (CON), College of Teacher Education (CPTED), and Meneses Campus.

Places that followed the principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) made people feel safer than otherwise similar places that didn't. Many architects dislike CPTED, but when it's done well it can improve people's quality of life.
Measuring the effects of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) on fear of crime in public spaces - Crime Prevention and Community Safety
Despite decades of research on Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), the specific impact of its dimensions on fear of crime (FoC) remains under-examined. This study investigates…

Then foot traffic declines, businesses close, less community eyes are informally on the street, allowing more opportunity for crime. Please, won’t elected officials take a single city planning course??? CPTED!!!

I hate CPTED! It generally leads to terrible urban design outcomes.

As a disciple of Mike Davis, I see this as Hostile Architecture, Defensible Space (see Oscar Newman), and CPTED: agreeing with others on this thread.

I discussed these here: c1typlann3r.medium.com/interview-ho...

½ On April 7, OCH CEO StephaneOCH_LCO met with @AlgonquinCollege Police Foundations students to hear their CPTED findings. We greatly appreciated their visit to Foster Farm in March and their thoughtful recommendations.

CPTED = Crime Prevention through Environmental Design

Four Pillars of a Happy & Healthy Society = Education, Housing, Healthcare, Infrastructure
January 11, 2026 at 5:23 AM
The true answer is Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED), coupled with robust Social Services via investment in the Four Pillars of a Happy & Healthy Society (Healthcare, Education, Infrastructure, Housing).

CPTED is only half the story because you also want people - especially women and girls - to feel safe and too much CCTV can be a negative for that. Also in the wrong hands it tends to involve designing out teenagers…

What does cpted mean? My no outlet street has a pedestrian easement at the end, and it is amazing.

Washingtonians are fed up with this fucking Fascism 🤬

THIS IS ALL A FARCE! IT WAS A SAFE A VIBRANT CITY BEFORE THE REGIME STARTED ITS ILLEGAL OCCUPATION!

None of these Nazis understand CPTED is what actually prevents Crime, whereas Hardline Policing actually INCREASES it!
