Designing and managing safe public spaces
Spaanse Polder Café facilitates a collaborative and interactive approach to involve the local business and professional community in assuming responsibility for safety and security within the Spaanse Polder Business Park.
How can we encourage a more collaborative approach within the business park, especially considering the limited number of residents in the area?
The Spaanse Polder Café is a regular, interactive forum event held in the Spaanse Polder area. It provides an accessible platform for discussing various topics relevant to the area and can be hosted up to four times a year. The event includes a participative workshop activity based on the World Café concept.
Such a face-to-face meeting will provide a forum for participants to share concerns and feedback regarding safety and security in the area — including organised crime. The structure of the Spaanse Polder Café is designed to enable different levels of involvement from individuals and to increase this involvement over time — from individuals' first contact out of curiosity, to their active participation (e.g. sharing information, taking action, etc.).
