number of the panellists. Discussions highlighted that measures put in place for terrorism can help the response to other crises such as flooding.


There was agreement for a need for a change in people’s mindsets: developing an understanding that security is everyone’s responsibility. Alongside that, the need for inclusive policies that involve people in social processes around the way we live was highlighted as a particular challenge due to people migrating to community clusters that can become ghettoised.


As part of this policy development and community involvement, the balance between what the public needed to know and what was secret was discussed. It was agreed that this was something that the politicians in each of the cities need to consider as it is part of building public resilience.

Secured by Design


A number of the panellists referred to the need for a consistent approach to securing by design and a global strategy for this was suggested, in partnership with all the other sectors involved with urbanisation. The urban planning process should have protective security at its core: architects can start solving some of the challenges through clever design.


The Cyber Threat


The importance of the influence of cyber was recognised with the call to continue with extensive efforts to monitor and respond to activity online. It was recognised that there is an improving effort from many of the social media companies and search engine providers to tackle extremist material online but that this was just the tip of the so-called iceberg.


Next Steps


The Safer Cities Roundtable panellists closed by agreeing that further city to city cooperation was needed, building on the excellent start made by the “Nice Declaration”, with the importance of keeping the dialogue and common understanding going across all those affected, whether public bodies, police or other statutory security bodies, private security providers, equipment manufacturers, architects and business.
