Blight and crime are often a packaged deal when referring to urban communities. Given that blight and crime are common issues in the U.S.A there are a number of different methods used in the past to solve those problems. This paper will discuss those different methods in regard to neighborhood security. With help from some East Point officials, this paper was written with the intent to research neighborhood security measures and design initiatives to improve upon the quality of life in the East Washington neighborhood of East Point, by using design elements to hinder crime and blight.
