Urban lighting is rapidly re-emerging as a matter of public debate. Lighting as a means of place-making and energy-savings, an on-going phase of rapid innovation in lighting technology and the growing awareness that light can constitute a form of pollution raise many questions that have yet to be answered. The first comprehensive compilation of current discussions on urban lighting and light pollution in the social sciences and humanities, Urban Lighting, Light Pollution and Society makes contributions to the evolving international debate. Interdisciplinary in nature, it draws a rich panorama of the manifold discourses connected with artificial illumination in the past and present.
