This effort is a collaboration between the City and Community Health Improvement Partners (CHIP), whose work is funded by a Preventing Violence, Healthy Eating Active Living (PV-HEAL) grant. In 2010, youth participating in this grant conducted Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) assessments of five “crime hotspot” areas in western Chula Vista. They made recommendations for ways in which both crime and the perception of crime could be lowered through changes to the built environment. One of the recommendations that the City is seeking to implement is their call for more public art.
For copies of the original PV-HEAL assessments, information on the workshop, or any questions, please contact Carla Blackmar, Project Coordinator, at cblackmar@ci.chula-vista.ca.us or (619) 476-5355.
