Currently, more than half of the world’s population lives in towns and cities. By 2030, the world’s population is expected to reach almost 5 billion. For the first time in history, there will be more people living in cities than in rural areas. As a result, urban security has become a critical issue that is set to be more important over time.
This change has encouraged city leaders and stakeholders to look for and invest in ways to increse the cities’ efficiency and to improve the cities’ quality of life, while providing sustainable urban infrastructures and services.
Urbanization changes including rapid urban growth have a strong and direct impact on the cities’ crime level, insecurity, economy, and citizens’ well-being. Modern cities, independent of size, confront security challenges (crime, terrorism) as well as threats caused by the environment and other factors. To respond to these threats, innovative solutions are required.
These changes and increased threats require the adoption of new strategies. Security’s importance has increased as cities grow and technology changes. Leaders must develop mechanisms to provide security and safety, and ensure a perception of safety in the community.
Public safety is one of the major challenges facing urban areas. The need for personal security and the threat of crime and violence are uppermost in the minds of urban residents. City's inhabitants have the right and need to feel secure and safe in an increasingly more hectic and crowded environment. Security is the main component to achieve this; it is a key driver for economic growth, investment, and stability.
The right “Safe City” system provides a secure environment as a result of its capability to prevent crime and to quickly respond to threats and emergencies. The system is easy to botain, quickly to implement and available to all.
The responsibility to secure cities, urban areas, and venues is usually handled by
multi-agencies/parties. Each party has its own concerns and objectives.
