Abstract

Using an article by Jane Sykes as the basis for this chapter, the authors present design tips for minimising vandalism in public places. They cover vandal proof materials, lighting, street furniture, lavatories and public conveniences, and a crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) approach.
