Abstract
AbstractThis chapter reports a brief overview of the importance of public space for the wellbeing of the urban community. The aim is to situate the social dimension of urban lighting in a wider theoretical and cultural context by describing the spatial anthropology of urban environments. This goal is accomplished through the use of methodologies, theories, and models of public space. Artificial lighting in urban spaces can be an important design lever for fostering the sustainable and inclusive development of territories. This chapter focuses on the paradigm shift that can stem from using artificial lighting as a design tool to recover a sense of place in social urbanity. From this perspective, social planning around urban lighting emerges as an important topic of research and practice. In particular, this new approach to the design of artificial lighting in cities is explored in terms of its aims and benefits, techniques, and methods for fostering inclusive decisions.KeywordsHuman-scale citySocial functionHuman-scale lightingHuman-oriented lightingSocial inclusion
