We have improved the navigation on the Secure Cities website (securecities.com), allowing users to better visualize security in public spaces. Visitors can click on a city on the map to the left (New York City, Los Angeles or San Francisco), then choose either the Civic Center or Financial District in order to view the presence and intensity of security zones in each neighborhood. Clicking on an individual zone will also pull up several photos showing the various surveillance, policing or barricading techniques employed. This site allows researchers, planners and policy makers to better visualize the true extent of the fortification and militarization of public space in three US cities.
