Conference: Inclusive and Safer Public Spaces

How can cities protect their urban public spaces in the face of evolving threats while ensuring they remain open and accessible to all? Two European projects, Secu4all, led by Efus, and PACTESUR, led by the City of Nice (France) and in which Efus is a partner, have been seeking solutions to this question over the past few years.

After four years, the PACTESUR project is coming to an end. The final conference co-organised with Secu4all will take place on 23-24 November in Brussels (Belgium). It will bring together European local stakeholders, police representatives and experts to discuss the project’s main findings with the representatives of the Expert Advisory Committee and Associated Cities. 

Several field visits will be co-organised for representatives of local authorities and other stakeholders by Secu4All and the Brussels-Capital Region, represented by Safe Brussels. The aim is to showcase the ways in which Safe Brussels and its partners have implemented a cross-disciplinary approach to public space management. 

The Secu4All project (2020-2023) is providing local and regional authorities of six European countries with knowledge and tools to better protect their public spaces. Led by Efus, research universities, think tanks and private security actors teamed up to deliver training sessions in the areas of vulnerability assessment, security by design, ethics of technology, and crisis communication. 

The conference will take place in Brussels from 23rd - 24th of November.
