  • Neighbourhood wellness and cultural activities to build cohesion
  • Overcoming obstacles to conflict resolution using emotional intelligence
  • SafeGrowth® planning and community accords
  • Co-planning with community groups
  • Tipping point effects, such as land use impacts
  • Assessing risk and computerized mapping for crime patterns
  • Implementation strategies and safety networks
  • Safety audits, asset mapping, lighting and landscape analysis
  • Real-life project application and feedback
