Acupunctures of a Safe Newcastle

Safer cities provide more life and livelier cities are safer. Like most suburban cities around the world, the suburbs ofNewcastle, have been seeing a rising rate of crime and the perception of safety has been deteriorating. Most of thepopulation of the city, lives in these suburbs. Addressing this lack of street safety, this thesis builds a framework of designprinciples that addresses the safety of the streets, for the suburbs of Newcastle. A city is a complex system, a smallchange in this complex interconnected system causes a ripple effect. This is the key idea of the Pilot Project. The PilotProject applies the developed principles to Hamilton by creating Acupuncture in the fabric of this suburb.
