CPTED – A concept related to Schools, Standards and SDGs

5:00 -5:10 School CPTED Guide (Carlos Gutierrez and Rene Berndt)
In the summer of 2019, a group of architectural facility designers, educators, educational researchers, and psychologists from around the world conducted a “safety and security in schools” workshop in Mexico. The group concluded that the safety and wellbeing of learners must be addressed comprehensively in all three dimensions of human existence: The physical, the social and the psycho-emotional environment. After 3 years of global collaboration, the group presented their pathway for the implementation of this comprehensive approach and published the CPTED in School guidebook in 2022.

5:10-5:20 Iso CPTED Standard 22341 (Dr. Tim Pascoe)
Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) is a well-established, multidisciplinary approach to reducing crime, antisocial behaviour, and fear of crime through the design and management of the built and social environment. The development of international and European CPTED standards - most notably ISO 22341:2021 and the CEN/EN 14383 series - represents a major step in formalising, harmonising, and professionalising CPTED practice worldwide.

5:20-5:30 CPTED and the UNSDG (Dr. Manjari Khanna Kapoor)
Crime and fear of crime are major impediments to growth and liveability in built environments and cities. Physical and mental security are vital contemporary pre-requisites for healthy living, economic growth and socio-economic sustainability. CPTED methodologies are used widely to control crime and fear of crime but actually they contribute at broader socio-economic levels towards the achievement of the UNSDGs. For the Global South, this saves precious resources ensuring the most comprehensive kind of development that is economically and socially sustainable.
