The concept of 鈥渟ustainable cities鈥 is key to the quality of life of several billions people. One aspect of this concept concerns the ability of urban institutions to control crime problems. In developed countries, sophisticated analytical methods and tools are increasingly being used to inform the design of crime prevention measures. However, such methods rely on the availability of geocoded crime data that聽are seldom available. In particular, creating geocoded data for slums and informal settlements is a real challenge due to informality, resources and lack of institutional capacity.聽

The project aims to support the development of crime analysis methods that can be applied in developing countries to support crime prevention and detection.

This Grand Challenge collaborative initiative offers the investigators opportunities to exchange and combine knowledge from different disciplines to stimulate new lines of research between linguistics, computer science, urban planning, crime science, GIS and international development.
