ENLIGHTENme – the effect of urban lighting on citizens’ health and wellbeing

Understanding the effects of public lighting on citizens’ health and wellbeing: this is the aim of the ENLIGHTENme research project, which is part of the new European Union cluster Cluster on “Urban Health” and involves an interdisciplinary collaboration of 22 international partners from 10 different countries, including the Municipality of Bologna.

The project, coordinated by the University of Bologna, will focus on three European cities to test innovative policies and actions in the field of indoor and outdoor lighting. In-depth studies will be carried out in selected neighbourhoods of Bologna, Amsterdam and Tartu through the creation of “urban lighting laboratories” involving citizens and industry experts.
By comparing the impacts of different lighting scenarios, it will be possible to define criteria and technical requirements to ensure that citizens’ health and wellbeing are integrated into urban planning processes.
