The International CPTED Association is committed to promoting inclusivity and crime prevention by developing the global community across cultures, regions, languages and ethnicities. CPTED is based on theories that transcend these differences and it depends heavily on ‘unity in diversity’ for its theories and actions.
To showcase this, often misunderstood aspect of CPTED and its effectiveness in reducing crime and fear of crime, the ICA brings to you a long-awaited discussion between experts representing different races, regions, cultures and languages. The discussion will showcase CPTED experiences that highlight the relevance of CPTED theories to culturally, socio-economically and regionally diverse contexts. The presentations will also highlight how CPTED works best when used in heterogenous settings and needs equitability as a primary component. The objective is to identify the exact parameters of overcoming differences and divisions in the CPTED way.
Once the examples are shared, we will allow ample time for discussions and interactions with the audiences from across the world.
Topics will include:
- The universality of the CPTED concepts
- Some examples of relevance of the theories in different cultural contexts
- Diverse interpretations and applications of CPTED in different regions
- Importance of diversities in CPTED
- How inclusivity is embedded in CPTED principles
- How CPTED promotes inclusion
- How exclusion and divisions threaten CPTED
We call for your inputs and views on the above and encourage you to mention if you have something to share on the topic. You may share your thoughts in the queries/discussion section during registration. Alternatively, you can also email questions/points to us or post them in the comment box during the live webinar session.
We may decide to include any exceptional thoughts, cases or examples and invite the audience into the webinar. This is in an effort to make webinars more interactive and inclusive.
Though our panelists are comfortable in different languages, the webinar will be presented in English with the support from translators.
Please share this with anyone who you think might benefit from learning more on this topic.
We look forward to connecting with you!
