Lighting has a significant impact on how we perceive the world around us. At night, in the urban realm, this visual world is almost entirely man-made. But unfortunately, many times, that man-made light does not shine equally on all people and neighborhoods. The lighting design community has an obligation and opportunity to improve the nighttime visual environment for all of Boston. From the celebration of our culturally significant structures to the appropriate and thoughtful illumination of our streetscapes, lighting can provide a safe, secure, beautiful, and sustainable Boston that can reaffirm our civic pride.
