Urban lighting, it is with the emergence of the urbanization process of our country and a new term, according to the country issued by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development interpretation of the regulation on administration of urban lighting, urban lighting is to point to in a planned urban area city road, tunnel, square, park, public green land, scenic spots and historical sites, and other building ( Structure) The function of the structures or landscape illumination. The function of lighting is to point to by artificial light to to ensure the safety of people travel and outdoor activities for the purpose of lighting; Landscape lighting refers to the outdoor using artificial light for the purpose of decoration and landscape lighting.

by the above definitions we can know, urban lighting is actually refers to a city's public lighting, and before is known as the city lights, the lighting can be divided into two parts, one is the street lamp illuminates the road, one is a lamp to illuminate public recreational place.

as the lighting design, from selling light bulbs to sell cultural development, people have more looking forward to for urban lighting, also leads to city lighting such a special field.

China is a large country, in this vast land owners several cities large and small, in economic development, city lights are lit up, even if it is a town, also began to build urban business card, lighting, and naturally become the city, urban business card of night.

we carefully look at the night when the business card, can see that some of the city at night to your feeling is very good, you can walk on the road of light lamplight ornament, also can be your nightlife in glittering business district. But in some places give you feeling is very different, you tend to see some violent, lack of art, dazzling light. Why is this? Are these we respected designer level gap so big?

with an earlier experts have discussed the problem of urban lighting planning, his words, and indeed worthy of our thinking. Now, he says, the urban lighting planning his most want to do is to lighting planning knowledge popularization. Here is not to everyone is a planner, but I hope more people, especially around the command can understand relevant knowledge of lighting, planners to respect, understanding, lighting, lighting designer's work, for the city public lighting to create a comfortable environment, rather than command their own subjective thoughts.

this is not only a lighting planners' words, but also lighting practitioners common voice.

But this view if exists in command of the mind, it is not hard to understand why will appear the phenomenon of violent lighting.

as a result, we can only hope that lighting practitioners more active its responsibility to spread modern lighting concept, knowledge, only in this way, can we hope to urban lighting to calculate by lighting practitioners day! By then, we can catch up with the developed countries, let people enjoy lighting.
