The Downtown Seattle Association, Seattle Police Department and the American Institute of Architects, will join Mayor Mike McGinn to host a free two-hour seminar on Crime Prevention through Environmental Design at 6:30pm tomorrow (Wednesday, August 25) in the Bertha Knight Landes Room at City Hall (600 Fourth Avenue). No advance registration is required.

The seminar will be presented by Art Hushen, of the National Institute of Crime Prevention, who will be in Seattle to teach a class to members of the Seattle Police Department and other city agencies.

Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) encourages change in the physical design of buildings, streets and parks to enhance safety in communities and to minimize the opportunities for crime to be committed.

CPTED practices have been used for more than 20 years in cities around the world.  Cities that have implemented CPTED practices have seen a dramatic reduction in crime.  Those cities have also seen significant improvement in their business climate as CPTED principles foster increased pedestrian activity and awareness.
