The  urban  nightscape  is  a  complex  rela4onship  between  people  and  their  environment.  

And  everyone  has  different  ligh4ng  needs  and  understandings.  

How  can  we  make  the  urban  ligh4ng  respond  to  that?  

Ligh4ng  the  city  as  process  and  not  a  product  –  it  has  to  start  with  people.  

Social  perspec4ve  ligh4ng  is  educa4onal  –  as  noctunal  space  can  look    like  this...  

…or  this.  

New  technologies    are  new  opportuni4es  to  make  urban  ligh4ng  social.
