This workshop, facilitated by the urban safety and engagement consultancy, Rethink Urban, will address both traditional and 2nd Generation CPTED concepts while introducing Placemaking as another key element that is mutually supportive. It will be conducted by introducing the various principles of each of these methodologies while using actual projects to demonstrate the potential for using these tools to create safe and compelling environments in small rural communities and settings. Methods of mobilizing participants to implement local CPTED strategies and create networks will also be highlighted. This training is designed with future workshops in mind for various rural communities throughout Alberta.
