| Abstract | Urban Lights main objective is to quantify the economic, social and environmental impact of modern town centre lighting and to produce appropriate design guidance to encourage best practice in town centre lighting. The aims of this guidance will be to create pedestrian-friendly streets which can provide night-time urban enjoyment, user comfort and safety while increasing the night-time commercial activity in the retail, restaurant, leisure and street market sectors and reduce energy use, CO2 emissions and light pollution. The project will be carried out in two phases, a pilot phase (year 1) and a main phase (years 2 and 3). Each phase will be associated with a local authority re-lighting of a pedestrianised town centre, involve a holistic evaluation of the design process and a before and after evaluation of the urban lit environment. A multidisciplinary team of engineers, physicists, social scientists, planners and lighting designers will quantify the economic, crime, social, publicperception and environmental impact of the interventions | |
