| Summary: | This article is about Scandinavian crime-preventing urban planning. At the beginning of the 1970s, a new urban planning movement called Crime Prevention trough Environmental Design emerged (CPTED). The basic idea behind CPTED as well as Scandinavian crime prevention is to prevent crime with inclusive measures. Instead of building walls and fences one should rather mark territories with symbolic measures. This article questions whether physical (hard) delineation of territory is really different from symbolic (soft) delineation. It discusses the ideas informing crime prevention planning and argues that both soft and hard measures share a similar objective: to protect us against someone or prevent someone from accessing an area |
