Bridging Public Safety, Public Health, and Trauma-Informed Design at Rutgers, Newark
This month, TINI Studio’s Alexandra Heath and Dr. Krista Schroeder had the privilege of visiting Rutgers University - Newark to observe the Newark Public Safety Collaborative (NPSC) Community Coalition meeting. The NPSC team welcomed us into their data-driven, community-centered model for improving public safety, sharing insights, inviting questions, and exploring how trauma-informed planning can strengthen their work. Their approach highlights exactly what TINI Studio advocates for: integrated systems where data, design, and community voice work together to support safety, regulation, and neighborhood well-being.

The piece illustrates how planning and design professionals are partnering with residents to co-create safe, supportive environments grounded in care, trust, and justice. This recognition underscores the growing influence of trauma-informed planning and reinforces why what we do at TINI Studio matters.
