Attractive and Engaging Control Well-being Sustainability

Public space, experience value drivers

Adaption and resilienceAs cities get more and more crowded, people worry more

about safety. Everything from dramatic weather events to

being mugged to the quality of the air, to germs and the

threat of pandemic.

The network of poles in the city provides a high density of

data collection points. And it is therefore not difficult to

imagine a digital city dashboard used for, e.g.:

- Monitor dangerous situations

- Guide and inform

- Detect the need for light at night and

adapt the ighting

- Smart parking and deliveries

Night preservationPublic lighting accounts for up to 40% of the city’s electricity

use. And as well as unnecessarily wasting energy this creates

light pollution and disturbs wildlife. Yet at the same time we

want to move about the city at night safely.

Digital lighting makes it possible to be much more precise

about what is illuminated and what isn’t.

So we can see the stars at night and save energy; but also

move around the city safely.

And by tuning the spectrum, we can make it safe for animals,

like bats too.

Identity and atmosphereIn an era of unprecedented mobility and disposable income,

cities have to differentiate themselves in order to attract

visitors and residents. Lighting in its most rudimentary form

can enhance the identity of a building or an area of the city,

but also it can be used to help create atmosphere around

stadiums and at special events.

But that’s not all; as lighting becomes more technologically-

advanced, it is also becomes more human at the same time.

It’s possible to create engaging lighting applications that suit

local needs, and create more attractive and livable urban

spaces.

Sociability and belongingAnd as cities become bigger and areas within the city blur,

the challenge is to create a feeling of belonging and being

local, and a sense of community and belonging and personal

connection, by helping people find each other and creating

communities.

As lighting changes from a fixed entity to a tunable medium,

lighting designers are able to tailor effects to specific user

groups and their individual needs and preferences. Lighting

becomes an actor in the public realm that mediates between

people and the built environment, and engages citizens in

new ways.

Conclusions

First we looked at connected lighting and how this is transforming the role of lighting; so each

light point becomes:

– a point to see

– a point to personalize

– a point to sense

– a point to offer services

We looked at the significance of connected lighting in the city - helping increase livability, by

supporting to gain insight, shape and manage city activities in Green manner
