Description: SAFE-CITIES aims to support excellence in the protection of public spaces by providing and testing in 4 use cases in 5 EU countries a security and vulnerability assessment framework with a decision support platform for its implementation. This will enable the simulation of complex scenarios, crowd behavior, and attacks in any space within a realistic 3D virtual environment, allowing end users to perform comprehensive and dynamic assessments of the risks and vulnerabilities of the analyzed site, identify potential vulnerabilities against a wide range of threats, and support the full involvement and cooperation of public and private actors, including citizens, in developing strategies, to secure public spaces while preserving their open nature.
