The main role of the city in the past was protection of its citizens and goods. Cities
represented the places where people were able to hide from savagery, crime and
wilderness, with the enemies left on the other side of the walls. However, during the
twentieth century, cities were more associated with the absence of safety than with
security. They experienced transformation from shelters into a major source of
danger. Safety and perceptions of safety are important factors contributing to the
sustainability of a contemporary city. Open public spaces as the main generators of
users are the focus of social life and vitality of environment. In the paper, we have
analysed the connection between urban planning and design and safety and security
of open public spaces. Such analysis could help planners create urban design for a
safer urban place. Principles of designing or redesigning a public space which
contribute to the safety of that space are also investigated together with th...eir
instruments. Special attention is given to the CEN/TR 14383-2 technical standard for
crime prevention, and its use in Serbia. The conclusion contains generic advice for
improving urban design with the aim of addressing safety in open public spaces.
