Landscape architects are positioned to provide strategies to protect urban public spaces from evolving threats. How can we integrate innovative security features into a site while creating vibrant public spaces? Case studies will address environmental, social, and aesthetic facets of security design in a range of site scales and geographies.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn about the evolution of security design strategies and how they respond to developing threats.
• Gain insight into public space designs that balance approachability and security requirements.
• Understand the challenge of adapting security design for scale, context, threat level, and budget.
• Examine opportunities for landscape architects to innovate and integrate security design strategies.
