It delves into the link between design, collaboration, management processes, and the impact of 'SBD' on commercial premises. The presentation highlights the importance of creating a physical and social environment conducive to community security and well-being, emphasizing the role of design in crime prevention. Through examples and insights, it showcases the attributes of a sustainable community and the principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED).
