Territorial reinforcement
Security Overlay to the RIBA Plan of Work, published by the RIBA in 2023, states: ‘Territorial reinforcement is a design approach which identifies how physical design can produce or extend a sphere of influence over a building or space, assisting in the development of a sense of ownership. When a space is clearly marked as public, semi-public, or private, it creates appropriate ownership of that space. By using buildings, fences, pavement, security signs, lighting and landscape to express ownership and define public, semi-public and private space, natural territorial reinforcement occurs.’
