As an AI language model, I do not have personal opinions or beliefs. However, below are some design strategies that can be implemented to make public spaces safe and secure:
1. Lighting: Design spaces with enough lighting that illuminates the space and discourages crime.
2. Clear sightlines: Ensure that spaces are designed where security personnel can be placed to have a clear view of the entire area.
3. Surveillance: Install cameras and use them to maintain a record of all the activities that occur within public spaces.
4. Physical barriers: Install physical barriers (e.g. bollards) that are capable of deterring crime and keeping people and vehicles out of certain areas.
5. Emergency communication systems: Install emergency phones, panic buttons, or other communication systems that can notify authorities if needed.
6. Landscape design: Design spaces that are open and have functional landscaping to minimize hiding spots for someone who would try to avoid being seen.
7. Crowd management: Design spaces that can accommodate a large number of people in a way that can safely and successfully serve their purposes.
8. Safety personnel: Use trained personnel to patrol and monitor the public spaces.
