"Lighting illuminates and enhances our experience of the built environment. It allows people to travel around their immediate neighbourhood and the wider city, providing visibility for individuals and their locality. Research into the effects of urban lighting on behaviour, environmental psychology and social interaction is developing at a rapid rate. Yet, despite the affect it has on our daily lives, the practical application of this research is a relatively untapped resource.
This book explores the needs and experiences of people at night and how these can be addressed by public lighting. It will give readers the confidence to develop more sophisticated lighting plans and add value to their projects. Case studies provide in-depth analysis of real-life projects and will help the reader to understand lighting designer’s own experiences, including post-installation observations. Written in an accessible style by an array of experts, this is an essential book for practitioners, academics and students alike, which will enable you to put the research in to practice and develop better lighting for better places."--Back cover
