Greg Saville, AlterNation

Greg lives with his wife in the historic Victorian seaport of Port Townsend in the Olympic Penninsula of Washington State. After a decade living in Vancouver, British Columbia he was hired to work as a faculty member at Florida State University and in Connecticut at the University of New Haven. East coast work was interesting - east coast winter weather not!  Greg enjoys hiking on rainforest trails, snow capped mountains, and the Pacific ocean view from his home.

Greg is a former police officer and is currently an urban planner specializing in CPTED and Safe Growth methods. He co-founded the International CPTED Association and in the 1990s was a partner in Canada's first consulting firm to specialize in CPTED. He currently is co-owner of AlterNation, an international consulting firm dedicated to safer places and helping change agents transform their world for the better.

In 2007 he created the SafeGrowth program for neighborhood safety and launched the model at the UN Habitat program in Santiago, Chile as well as SafeGrowth training with the New York based Local Initiatives Support Corporation in cities across the U.S.
