Security by Design: Protection of public spaces from terrorist attacks
In recent years, public spaces – from shopping malls, open-air markets and churches to metro stations – have been the target of terrorist attacks in European cities. Created by a broad range of experts from the European Commission, academia and security experts, this handbook – although not legally binding – promotes the concept of security by design and gives useful information on how to apply it when designing and building public spaces. It addresses practical concerns when integrating security measures for project teams, security operators, urban planners and anyone involved in the design or redesign of public spaces. Security by design strives to make public spaces not only safer but also multifunctional, sustainable, beautiful and accessible for all people. In essence, the concept opposes the creation of unliveable urban fortresses.
