Abstract
The paper focus on interactive design, representing today a broad spectrum of methodologies and skills. The ability to connect people and the visibility of environments at a distance become decisive factors in increasing safety in the urban environment, as well as being an opportunity to improve the aesthetic quality of specific places. The paper presents two case studies developed at the Second University of Naples, both based on the use of simple interaction systems that converge on the objective of improving living conditions and a feeling of safety while using design tools at different levels.
