A sustainable city enables the fulfillment of the mobility needs of
its citizens via accessible, reliable and safe transportation systems.
Safety is one of many factors influencing the mobility of individuals
in urban environments. Moving Safely: Crime and Perceived Safety in
Stockholm’s Subway Stations aims to provide both theoretical and
empirical perspectives on safety conditions at subway stations. The
book adopts an approach that is place-centered, looking upon those who
travel through the system and who may become a victim of crime. Safety
at transportation nodes is not a field for one science only; it
demands the combination of cross-disciplinary theories (urban
criminology, architecture, geography, transportation and urban
planning) as well as integrated methods that are capable of dealing
with an ever-increasing volume of data. Adopting a whole journey
approach to safety, the book offers suggestions on how to plan safety
at subway stations with a variety of passengers’ needs. Although
these suggestions are not the first ones in the literature, certainly
they are new in terms of relying on findings from hypothesis testing
and spatial data from a Scandinavian city. Moving Safely is relevant
for experts in safety and transportation research, including
criminologists, planners, transportation engineers, architects as well
as professionals dealing directly with safety interventions.
