Security has acquired during this new century an unknown meaning; whatever, today is a factor to assess the quality and ways of life related to urban design. Because of this, today, there is new paradigms as �geoprevention�. �Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) has proven to be a useful, effective and very concrete strategy to prevent crime and feelings of insecurity, integrated in the multidisciplinary approach of �geoprevention�. This strategy serves to analyzed the relation between urban environment and public security as a consequence of different sociocultural, economic and political situations. Considering this CPTED is based in vulnerability. In order to reduce that vulnerability the following measuresare used: natural access control, natural surveillance, territory reinforcement, maintenance of public spaces and community prevention.
