“Promoting urban safety for citizens is not primarily about policing and relying on the penal system for crime prevention – it is also about the design and planning of public space and …. its impact on social urban development…increasing choices for men and women, girls and boys to move freely without threat, harassment, sexual assault, rape, or intimidation …. It is also about responsive and inclusive governance.”
