Safety

How light can con­tri­bute

The topic of safety in cities is a com­plex one and is often the sub­ject of pas­sio­nate debate. Need­less to say, safety is essen­tial for well-being. On the other hand, a fee­ling of safety and objec­tive danger in public spaces are often miles apart. More lighting can increase the fee­ling of safety but it does not auto­ma­ti­cally have an effect on actual safety. Holi­stic design approa­ches are requi­red for urban spaces here, which also include lighting plan­ning. For a dyna­mic city, heal­thy social rela­tions and a strong iden­ti­fi­ca­tion factor is the best means of ensu­ring the safety of citi­zens.
