Project description
Redesigning urban security policies
In order to initiate an effective transformation in urban security policies, the EU-funded IcARUS project aims to address urban security issues by proposing an integrated, evidence-based and multi-stakeholder approach. This approach will rethink tools for urban security policy and will be based on a vision which combines prevention and sanctions aimed at enhancing social cohesion. Eventually, this vision will help shape a common approach of security in the European Union. The project will encourage local communities to become an active part of multi-sectoral governance to improve urban safety and capitalise on social and technological innovation.
Objective
the IcARUS project seeks to facilitate a transformation in the application and utilisation of the knowledge base through the design of urban security policies. By rethinking tools for urban security policy, IcARUS project offers a unique opportunity to draw together the best evidence from urban security research and practice over the last 30 years to implement an integrated, evidence-based and multi-stakeholder approach to prominent urban security problems.
Through a strategically designed process of co-production, IcARUS will integrate social and technological innovations to strengthen the strategic approach to urban security and therefore, promote a balanced vision of urban security, combining prevention, sanctions and social cohesion as mechanisms to encourage common approaches to security in the European Union. This project aims to transform the benefits to local communities in terms of urban security policies by engaging them as active co-producers of services rather than as passive recipients of public services alongside forms of multi-sectoral governance that deliver beneficial urban safety outcomes.
