The exercise will take delegates through a "scenario-based multi-media simulation exercise that illustrates how to design out terrorism threats".
Chief Inspector Brian Connel, head of the Physical and Social Crime Prevention Department at Strathclyde Police said: "This table top exercise will provide delegates with a unique opportunity to contribute to public safety by demonstrating how resilience can be built-in to new developments to protect the places where the public live, work and socialise."
Alan Dobie, SBCC Executive Director said: "Today's event illustrates the important role architects, developers and planners can play in minimising the effects of terrorism within the Scotland's built environment. Like many other aspects of crime, partnership between law enforcement and business is the key to successfully tacking these challenges."
