Where: international
Challenge
Making urban spaces more liveable and safer during the night is a major issue for cities and residents. During the day, services and economic activities provide the citizen with a feeling of security. During the night these activities are considerably reduced, so the task of protecting the public falls heavily on the local authorities.
Approach
Support the city in facing the challenge of change by delivering community-based urban security through community activation, empowerment and technology-based social sensing.

ToNite develops multidisciplinary and co-designed solutions and actions to better understand urban social phenomena and tackle problems deriving from a perception of insecurity that tends to generate social intolerance and under-use or no-use of public spaces. Therefore, it is crucial to understand citizens’perception of security regarding their experiences in living and accessing target neighborhoods and public spaces. Engineering leads the development of the Urban Data Platform dedicated to understanding urban insecurity phenomena, analysing its improving decision maker’s capabilities to monitor the current situation, detecting the rise of new phenomena and understanding communities needs.
