On top of that, with secure streets designed based on the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) approach, safety is also ensured through the strategic placement of lighting, clear sightlines and wide walkways with landscape buffers from vehicular traffic, fostering a sense of security and community for all residents.
