Abstract
Crowd management can provide an intermediate solution for the short-term to pressing crowd safety concerns at limited costs. It entails the systematic process of planning, organizing, and monitoring large gatherings of people to establish and maintain a safe and secure environment. This chapter provides a toolbox that planners and crowd managers can use to identify crowd incident risks, design crowd management strategies, and develop crowd management systems. In addition, some practical pointers concerning the operationalization of crowd management strategies are provided and several future challenges are highlighted.
