Our CPTED Expertise
Professional practitioners with deep knowledge of environmental design principles
Natural Surveillance
Designing spaces to maximize visibility and natural observation, reducing opportunities for criminal activity. Proper maintenance of vegetation and clear sight lines is essential.
Natural Access Control
Controlling access to spaces through strategic design, barriers, and entry management systems. Regular maintenance ensures access control systems remain functional and effective.
Territorial Reinforcement
Creating clear boundaries and ownership of spaces to establish psychological ownership and control. Well-maintained markers, signage, and boundaries are critical for effectiveness.
Note: Maintenance is not a separate CPTED principle, but rather a critical factor that supports all three core principles. Proper maintenance ensures that Natural Surveillance, Natural Access Control, and Territorial Reinforcement remain effective over time.
