Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, with Cst. Matt Hunt
<p>Imagine a world where the very design of our neighbourhoods and public spaces serves as a shield against crime. This is the essence of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, or CPTED for short. CPTED is a concept that underscores the pivotal role landscape professionals, together with law enforcement, have in shaping secure and resilient environments. I’m honoured to be joined by Constable Matthew Hunt, the CPTED coordinator for the Ottawa Police Service, and in this conversation, we unravel the intricate relationship between landscape design and crime prevention, explore the principles of CPTED and uncover practical strategies for landscape and horticulture professionals, like you, to become true guardians of our communities</p> <p>Resources<br/> <a href="https://landscapeontario.com/assets/1709650445.Transcription_Cst_Hunt_CPTED.pdf">Episode Transcription</a><br/> <a href="https://www.crimepreventionottawa.ca/neighbourhood-toolkit/take-action/design-safe-surroundings/">Design safe surroundings - Crime Prevention Ottawa</a><br/> <a href="https://cptedcanada.com/">CPTED Canada</a><br/> <a href="https://www.cpted.net/North-America">The International CPTED Association (ICA) - North America</a><br/> <a href="https://gcfoundation.ca/">Green Cities Foundation</a><br/> <a href="https://www.communitiesinbloom.ca/">Communities in Bloom</a><br/> CPTED Books recommended by Cst.
