A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
An illustrated monograph contains a state-of-the-art survey of 'defensible space,' the incorporation of crime-deterring features in the physical design of residential buildings. The author suggests how the grouping of dwelling units, the definition of grounds, the use of surveillance and alarm devices, the design of elevators and lobbies, and the positioning of routes, doors, and lighting can discourage criminal action. He stresses how design can create potent feelings of territoriality in residents and lead them to self-policing and efforts aimed at reducing vandalism and insuring project security. The research sites were several housing complexes in New York City which are being modified in light of the study recommendations. (Modified author abstract)
