Abstract

The report provides detailed answers to standard questions, such as “Describe any unexpected, unusual, or counter-intuitive findings coming out of your research project.” The diversity of context explored by the Safe and Inclusive Cities (SAIC) study allowed it to examine situations where very similar interventions resulted in quite different outcomes that resulted from pre-existing community networks and entrenched patterns of local cohesion. Implications of the South African study are taken into account in terms of socio-economics, gender, policy, and engagement with other research and researchers.
