ABSTRACT
Using the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals as a reference, this chapter draws from all contributions to this volume to propose recommendations on how to respond to crime and fear of crime in public places and to set out a new research agenda. Then we outline a series of suggestions for how to address safety issues in public places through design and policies—first based on the contributions of the book and subsequently on the UN-Habitat Safer Cities program. If a city is to be called sustainable, “all” places may not be planned for everyone, but everyone should have a place in it. Not in a segregated city, but in an environment where safety is a guaranteed human right.
