Fencing plays a critical yet often overlooked role in shaping the safety, functionality, and character of our built environments. Far more than a boundary treatment, well-designed fencing can contribute to safer communities, support active and engaging streetscapes, and reinforce the overall design intent of a project.

This webinar explores how fencing can be thoughtfully integrated into urban and landscape design outcomes, balancing security, privacy, and visual connectivity while enhancing the user experience of a space.

Through the lens of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), and how boundary treatments influence natural surveillance, territorial definition, and community safety.

The session will also share practical insights into specification considerations, common design challenges and lessons learned from real-world projects across residential, commercial, and public environments.

Brought to you by NZILA National Partner, Urban Group.
