Designing for Security.
Expert InsightsPublished 1971
The significant role that total project planning and design may play in securing greater personal safety in future housing is considered. The paper focuses on the lack of coordination among architects, security experts, and social psychologists during the crucial planning phases of new construction, in order to stimulate further research and action along an avenue that appears most fruitful for preventing crime and enhancing public well-being. This work is part of a broader study on improving safety in urban high-rise housing that was sponsored by New York Mayor Lindsay's Criminal Justice Coordinating Council during 1969. 17 pp. Ref.
