Background information

The International CPTED Association (ICA) brings you a discussion on the application of CPTED to the often economically disadvantaged and culturally diverse context of the Global South. Three ICA directors will share their experiences and discuss their CPTED work in countries of the Global South.

CPTED is an established crime and violence prevention approach in many developed countries. However, it is not as well-known and commonly used in the Global South. In the instances where CPTED has been studied and implemented, conventional practices and applications have often been re-interpreted and adapted to the challenging contexts of developing countries.


Topics 

Topics to be discussed include the following:

  • The application of CPTED principles appropriate to the realities experienced in the Global South

  • Challenges and opportunities regarding the acceptance of CPTED interventions in developing countries.
  • Some typical applications devised for CPTED in the Global South.
  • Common shortcomings of CPTED in compromised socio-economic contexts.
  • CPTED embedded in traditional practices.
