The problem and who we serve
Design prevents more crime than cameras, but almost no Indian city has a map of where and why its public spaces feel unsafe. We train auditors, publish the standard and map cities with their municipal bodies.
- Beneficiaries
- Residents, city bodies, transit operators
- Geography
- Indian cities, by municipal partnership

CPTED Architects and Auditors
Safety built into every building, from the first drawing.
Like secure coding for software, safety has to be designed into a building while it is drawn. With sponsors, ISAC Foundation trains architects to design airports, hospitals, data centres, offices, homes and cities to SIDS, a modern CPTED standard, and auditors to rate them.
Our 2030 Commitment: 2,500 CPTED Architects and Auditors

How safe is your city to live in, street by street?
