Maintenance is another concept of CPTED. CPTED stands for Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design.
Maintenance refers to the idea of the continued use of a space for an intended purpose. This is done by keeping the property maintained and landscape managed. If locks, windows, doors, lights, and property are maintained the message is that you are actively involved in your property's appearance and security.
