Thesis Title:

Implementing CPTED Crime Prevention Design Principles on a Community Project-Based Scale: Syracuse, New York A Process Manual for Identification, Planning, and Implementation

Lila Nazarian

This project synthesizes established Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) theory and qualitative research conducted in the City of Syracuse to present a Process manual which makes these design concepts accessible and feasible for local nonprofit organizations. These design concepts are drawn from empirical evidence which shows a strong connection between physical space and crime tendencies, and offers innovative approaches which optimize residential and commercial areas to discourage crime. This manual condenses these theories into a version more affordable and practical for local organizations, and creates an opportunity for infrastructural transformation in City neighborhoods which have been systematically neglected.
