“…In addition, they provided a comprehensive overview of the factors that contribute to community infrastructure security and proposed design strategies to improve resilience to security challenges. Michele Grimaldi et al (2023) provided an overview of recent research on the relationship between urban design and crime. The urban design can significantly impact crime rates by influencing the way people use and perceive public spaces.…”

As urban populations age, creating cities that cater to the needs of elderly residents becomes increasingly vital. This paper addresses the imperative to develop urban environments supporting the well-being of the elderly against a backdrop of changing demographics. With the proportion of elderly individuals steadily rising, the demand for age-inclusive urban design is more pressing than ever. The research question driving this study is: How can sustainable retrofit strategies contribute to age-inclusive urban design, considering the physiological and psychological characteristics of the elderly? Begins with examining the theoretical foundations of sustainable retrofit practices, shedding light on their significance and common objectives. Shortcomings in current urban retrofit practices are scrutinized, highlighting the gaps that need addressing. Integrating research on the physiological and psychological characteristics of the elderly, along with their distinct needs in outdoor environments, the review contributes to a nuanced understanding of age-specific urban requirements. A bespoke sustainable urban retrofit strategy for the elderly is conceptualized, rooted in the principles of urban design. Finally, acknowledging the challenges faced in achieving age-inclusive urban spaces and provides forward-looking recommendations.

“…(d) Regionalisation maps, which divide the territory into a relatively small number of contiguous areas that differ in terms of certain characteristics, i.e., so-called regions or areas of crime (Figure 1d). Spatial zoning or regionalisation maps have traditionally been used for decisionmaking in a wide range of fields [1][2][3][4]. On one hand, the thematic information that they contain is highly generalised, which makes them easy to understand for national and local politicians, development strategists and urban planners and managers, who are responsible for making decisions that are important for the entire population of the country or in particular geographical regions [5][6][7][8].…”

In all countries, cities and their suburbs are the most densely populated areas. They are also the places visited by the largest number of tourists and one-day visitors, who inevitably run the risk of becoming victims of crime. It is, therefore, important, not only at national but also at the international level, to know the structure of urban crime and identify urban areas that differ in terms of their criminogenic situation. This requires a geographical approach and regionalisation based on the quantitative data that can offer it. This paper presents the results of a study using big data regarding violent crime, property crime and infringements against public order registered by the police in 2020 in the territories of three major Lithuanian cities and their suburbs (n = 149,239). Events in open spaces were separately addressed. A series of experiments were carried out using several spatial clustering methods. The automatic zoning procedure method that gave the best statistical results was then tested with different combinations of parameters. In each city, seven types of areas of urban crime were identified. Maps of crime areas (regions) were created for each city. The results of the regionalisation have been interpreted from a socio-geographical point of view and conform with previous sociological urban studies. Seven types of areas of crime have been identified, which are present in all the cities studied and, according to a preliminary assessment, roughly correspond to the socio-demographic and urban zones of each city. The maps of crime areas can be applied for crime prevention planning and communication, real estate valuation, strategic urban development planning and other purposes.
