This report constitutes Deliverable 2.1 of the FP7 Security Program research project ‘Designing Safer
Urban Spaces’ (DESURBS, Grant Agreement no. 261652). This report on Work Package (WP) 2 of the
DESURBS project is chronologically the first deliverable of this work package. The purpose of the
deliverable is to report on the identification of public and private sector stakeholders responsible for

2012 has led to a significant increase in understanding regarding the case study city, and has formed
a base from which further data collection will be undertaken. In addition to that, interviews
conducted by Partner 8 provided significant insight into the roles of the stakeholders and allowed
comparison with the UK (Nottingham) data
