Cities of Light is the first global overview of modern urban
illumination, a development that allows human wakefulness to
colonize the night, doubling the hours available for purposeful and
industrious activities. Urban lighting is undergoing a revolution
due to recent developments in lighting technology, and increased
focus on sustainability and human-scaled environments. Cities of
Light is expansive in coverage, spanning two centuries and touching
on developments on six continents, without diluting its central
focus on architectural and urban lighting. Covering history,
geography, theory, and speculation in urban lighting, readers will
have numerous points of entry into the book, finding it easy to
navigate for a quick reference and or a coherent narrative if read
straight through. With chapters written by respected scholars and
highly-regarded contemporary practitioners, this book will delight
students and practitioners of architectural and urban history, area
and cultural studies, and lighting design professionals and the
institutional and municipal authorities they serve. At a moment
when the entire world is being reshaped by new lighting
technologies and new design attitudes, the longer history of urban
lighting remains fragmentary. Cities of Light aims to provide a
global framework for historical studies of urban lighting and to
offer a new perspective on the fast-moving developments of lighting
today.
