ECDC are committed to creating an inclusive development and they commissioned ZCD Architects to develop a detailed review into how positive safety measures can be designed into the public realm.
This was then tested with the Public Realm Inclusivity Panel (PRIP), our intergenerational panel, to consider the needs and concerns of a range of different groups to ensure inclusivity.

The Inclusive Safety Toolkit can be downloaded here and can be used by other developments who want to put safety at the heart of their project.
The download contains a practical step-by-step guide , along with two sets of worksheets.

'The Inclusive Safety Toolkit, is one of the outputs of our innovative approach to firmly embedding engagement in design. It includes simple steps that anyone can take as the starting point to embedding inclusive safety into all aspects when creating new places, from design to long-term management.'
'It expands on the traditional approach to Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) by taking both a personal and whole community approach that builds on local lived experience.'

The Earls Court Development Company has been doing great work with the creation of the Inclusive Safety Toolkit with the PRIP (who are a brilliant group of people), engaging local people with a wealth of lived experience to make a significant impact on the quality of the placemaking. The diversity of voices influencing the process is a rich and vital part of city making – an excellent example of what developers can do.
