Quantifying urban risk and vulnerability - a toolsuite of new methods for planners
Abstract
Increasing urbanization drives the need for new solutions for security issues on all levels of urban planning. This paper describes a toolset of computer-assisted tools that enables urban planners and associated parties, such as architects or engineers to make well-considered, systematic, qualitative and quantitative assessments of urban areas regarding security issues. In the long-term, this will contribute to more robust and resilient cities with a quantitative balance between costs and benefits.
