defensible space  

Définition

  • Defensible space is the term introduced into criminological literature by North American architect Oscar Newman to describe residential environments that are designed and utilized in ways that maximize their security and protection against crime. Defensible spaces are created when the design and layout of the physical environment is manipulated in such a way that it facilitates the supervision, maintenance, and overall control of residential spaces by residents themselves.
