A central issue in urban planning is how to ensure good references for decisions and processes that lead to the design and planning of safe public environments. Despite increasing safety challenges in cities in the Nordic countries, knowledge is lacking about municipalities’ work with safety issues in daily planning practices. This chapter makes a contribution to this knowledge base by reporting the answers from surveys collected from 85% of municipalities in Sweden in 2019. The focus is on the incorporation of situational crime prevention principles into planning practices, in particular, crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED). Findings from the data analysis reveals differences in answers from planners working in urban and rural municipalities. Findings show that planners believe that safety is an important issue, but how it is dealt with in these municipalities vary greatly
