Public Space Humanization in a Night City

Abstract

Humanisation of public spaces is an important part of development strategies for a modern city. Design of a luminous environment plays a significant part in this process. We can see a correlation between the existing examples of humanoriented lighting of spaces and the scientific understanding of humanism. This helps us set a goal of space humanisation, select specific tasks that are solved by humanised public spaces, and define factors influencing humanistic quality of the environment at the phase of lighting design.
