Codee Ludbey CPP, Managing Director & Co-Founder Core42

Codee Ludbey is the Co-Founder and Managing Director of Core42, a boutique security advisory redefining how cities design for safety, resilience, and trust. With a background spanning counter-terrorism, crime prevention, and urban design, Codee leads projects that embed security as a design quality rather than an afterthought.

At Core42, he leads research including the Urban Infrastructure Security 2030 study, positioning the firm at the forefront of global thinking on security governance, design integration, and institutional readiness for future risks.

Codee will be presenting on Reimagining Security for a Converging Urban Future

By 2030, urban infrastructure will face converging risks that outpace current security models. Core42’s Urban Infrastructure Security 2030 study reveals a stark gap between awareness and action. No organisation surveyed felt “very prepared” for the future. Security-by-design remains weak, coordination fragmented, and institutional readiness for AI low. This presentation explores how governance reform, design integration, and capability transformation can close that gap. Drawing on global insights, it challenges policymakers, planners, and security professionals to move beyond compliance and build adaptive, system-wide resilience through integrated, design-led security.
