The architecture of security is often thought of in terms of situational crime prevention and defensible space. In this article, we argue that the emergence of smart cities and smart technology compel a broader conceptualisation of the design of security, which has the potential to transform the governance of our urban landscape. Drawing on the case of the city of Eindhoven’s “De-escalate” project—in which sound, smell and lighting programming combined with data analysis is used to reduce violence and aggression in the inner-city entertainment area—we show that the securitisation of urban space can also be pursued by positive triggers for behaviour. The case allows us to rethink the architecture of security in terms of pastoral power—Foucault’s notion of governing individuals and populations through care and protection. In sharp contrast with more hostile forms of situational crime prevention and defensible space, which seek to “design out” unwanted behaviour by closing off spaces, pastoral architecture is inclusive and provides “scripts” for desirable behaviour in public space. Moreover, this architecture is incorporated and designed into the existing built environment, operates through psychological triggers rather than physical ones, and is principally developed by private companies rather than the state.

智慧城市与安全架构：田园力量与公共空间的脚本化设计

安全架构通常被视为情景犯罪预防和防御空间。在本文中，我们认为智能城市和智能技术的出现迫使对安全设计进行更广泛的概念化，这有可能改变我们城市景观的治理。以埃因霍温市的“降级”项目为例——在该项目中，声音、气味和灯光程序结合数据分析用于减少市中心娱乐区的暴力和侵略——我们表明，城市的安全化空间也可以通过积极的行为触发来追求。这个案例使我们能够重新思考从牧民权力角度的安全架构——福柯通过关怀和保护来管理个人和人口的概念。与更具敌意的情景犯罪预防和防御空间形式形成鲜明对比，后者试图通过封闭空间来“设计”出不需要的行为，田园建筑具有包容性，并为公共空间中的理想行为提供“脚本”。此外，这种建筑被纳入和设计到现有的建筑环境中，通过心理触发而不是物理触发来运作，并且主要由私人公司而不是国家开发。
