The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) provide a global plan and a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. They are path-breaking and comprehensive in their approach to sustainability incorporating inclusion, equitability, and security into the folds of urban development.

CPTED as a theory, strategy, and methodology shares many of the virtues propounded by the UNSDGs. While this underscores the relevance of CPTED as a contemporary approach, it also highlights their overlaps and symbiotic relationship.

***

Topics included:

• The role of CPTED in the achievement of the UNSDGs.

• The parallels in the CPTED and UNSDG approaches.

• How CPTED principles align with the UNSDGs.

• Relevance of the three generations of CPTED with the UNSDGs

• Commentary on the convergent and divergent factors.

• Relevance of CPTED theories in achieving the UNSDGs in different aspects and applications.

***

Who should watch: Criminologists, CPTED professionals, safety and crime prevention specialists, architects, urban planners, designers, police officers, public officials, safety consultants, academics, students, researchers, policy-makers, urban development experts, community developers, sociologists, social engineers, decision-makers, and others.
