As in the case of other design processes, to design a safe venue requires a very clear insight into the ways that crowds, and the individuals within them, behave. It requires the designer to understand far more than the engineering principles of crowd pressure and loadings, important though these may be. The designer must, for instance, also know how a crowd's behaviour can be controlled by their surroundings. advancement of this field, as well as presenting useful data in a form that is readily available and can be easily used. The book provides a great deal of information and support for managers which will enable them to carry out their duties more efficiently, and to recognise those sites with potential hazards. Studies are included on all places where large numbers of people gather; such as at railway stations, shopping malls, pop concerts, etc., providing the detailed information required to design a safe venue. behaviour of the people using it - how it would promote their safety. This type of engineering requires ' knowledge not only of the loads and pressures that can be generated within a crowd, but also of how the design could affect the movement of the crowds; how they could be controlled, dealt with and modelled. The articles in this volume will be of interest to owners, designers, managers and local authorities involved with the construction and improvement of public venues.
