FIRST-GENERATION CPTED promoted a fortified lifestyle where surveillance, territoriality, and access control would design crime out of the spaces of urbanity.

SECOND-GENERATION CPTED promoted sustainable development where creating livable, civilized, balanced communities in well-maintained urban settings, empowering citizens, and fostering community engagement would eliminate the reason d’etre of urban crimes.

THIRD-GENERATION CPTED promotes green energy and application of novel technologies where perception of safety, and standard of living is enhanced, and cities can thrive in a symbiotic and synergetic relationship with natural ecology.

THIRD-GENERATION CPTED Inspirations: a green, sustainable, technologically enhanced approach to enhancing the living standards of urbanites and improving the image of the city as user-friendly, safe, and secure.

THIRD-GENERATION CPTED Recommendations: Urban-scale green, sustainable and technologically enhanced design strategies for fostering the perception of safety and security in cities

3.1 Urban surveillance: the use of harvested energy as a power source for street lighting

3.2 Natural urban surveillance : integrating greenscapes into urban streetscapes to create a more pedestrian-friendly urban fabric

3.3 Cybernetic urban surveillance: a thousand Little Sisters instead of one Big Brother

3.4 Enhancing a citizen’s sense of belonging: interfaces for accessing real- time information, conflict mediation and productive discussion

3.5 Clarifying the dynamics of the city in real-time: enhancing the image of a city as transparent, well-maintained, safe and secure

3.6 Capitalizing on the potential of online social networks to create a sense of belonging, to foster a culture of collaboration, and to transform the “me-mentality” of individual urbanites to the”us-mentality” of members of an urban, digitally enhanced multitude.

3.7 Technologically enhanced urban navigation contributes to the legibility of the city’s fabric, easing spatial perception and enhancing the image of the city as user-friendly, safe and secure

3.8 Establishing online platforms for municipalities worldwide to share their experiences with third generation CPTED, and the criteria used to evaluate the results
