SAFE-CITIES

Are Our Public Spaces Truly Protected? 🛡️ Are we doing enough to safeguard public spaces? 🌍 This question lies at the heart of SAFE-CITIES, an EU-funded project tackling modern security challenges. Our initiative is delivering tools and strategies that help municipalities, law enforcement, and urban planners protect public spaces more effectively. In our latest interview, Umberto Battista Batista from STAM S.r.l., who is the project coordinator, shares insights into how SAFE-CITIES addresses vulnerabilities, enhances collaboration between stakeholders, and prepares public areas to handle evolving threats. With six months left until completion, the project is gearing up for its final demonstration, promising real-world impact for safer urban environments. 👉 Dive into the interview and discover how SAFE-CITIES can impact the future of public safety: https://lnkd.in/dRXKYwQs #SafeCities #PublicSafety #UrbanSecurity #EUInnovation
