We are pleased to announce the launch of our Story Map: Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design in Flint, MI.

This new resource describes Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles and highlights how a community coalition applied them to address blight, reclaim neighborhoods, and establish a model for revitalization in Flint, Michigan.

This Story Map was created in partnership with the University Avenue Corridor Coalition, whose mission is to transform the University Avenue Corridor into an attractive and crime-free community that is conducive to sustainable development.

We hope you find this new resource useful in your work and encourage you to share the Story Map widely. If you have any questions regarding the Story Map, please contact Laney Rupp, Research Associate, MI-YVPC at laneyr@umich.edu.
