“…New York helped to establish the commercial aesthetic of floodlighting and illuminated advertising (Gilbert & Hancock, 2006), features which continue to attract tourists to places like Hong Kong and Tokyo. Cities now spend a great deal of time and money on illumination; beautification now rivals security as the central objective of lighting strategies in some cities (Giordano, 2018). This means sightseeing is something no longer confined to daylight hours.…”

This special edition emerged out of a two-day symposium titled 'Tourism and the Night' which was held at the University of Westminster, London in the summer of 2017. Organised by the editors of this edition, and our colleague Ilaria Pappalepore, the symposium brought together scholars working at the interface of tourism and nightlife studies. Delegates from Australia, North America and across Europe attended the event, confirming our sense that the night is becoming increasingly important to the experience, study, management and representation of tourism. The papers presented were heavily oriented towards urban, Western contexts and the challenges and benefits of urban tourism at night. The policy interventions instigated by various cities were discussed with papers addressing a wide range of debates, practices, policies and theories. Case studies from Barcelona, Mashhad, Sydney, Lisbon, Toronto and Berlin, amongst others, demonstrated the breadth of research in this field and how the night and tourism intersect. The papers presented in this issue represent only some of the case studies examined over those two days, but they draw out some of the dominant themes; pilgrimage, lighting and light festivals, the rights of hospitality employees, gentrification, urban commodification, relations between tourists and locals, and the shifting ways that both nightlife and tourism are conceived. The symposium had several points of departure. In particular, The Villes Europeennes Et Nuit Urbaine colloquium, held at the University Paul Valery, Montpellier, in 2016 was influential. This earlier colloquium had featured several papers on the aesthetics and politics of light festivals and illumination events. Importantly, these events were not discussed as simply tourist events that just happened to occur at night, nor were they read as merely an extension of already existing daytime tourism patterns. Instead, and echoing the extensive work of Edensor (2012, 2015), both the night and tourism were positioned as central to the ways the events were planned, managed and experienced. The 'Touristified Everyday Life' conference in the spring of 2017 at the Georg Simmel Centre for Metropolitan Studies in Berlin featured papers along a similar vein. Attention was drawn to the ways that concerns about localtourist relations, gentrification, city branding, and everyday life were becoming especially critical at night. Debates about urban tourism and related themes of regeneration and gentrification were explored extensively, but the important question of what is it about the night that matters here was central. The issues of overtourism and touristification in Amsterdam, Berlin and Barcelona are well known, but what happens when those issues play out in the night? Is it simply a case of tourism extending into the night, or does the night in itself represent something different about the ways cities are experienced by tourists, and planned or represented by policy makers? These events and our 2017 symposium coincided with several important po...

“…Many cities are experiencing explosive growth of outdoor illumination in the form of animated advertising signs and decorative lighting; others are adopting outdoor lighting strategies to encourage tourism and nightlife (Ngarambe and Kim 2018; Zielinska-Dabkowska and Xavia 2019; Giordano 2018). Examples include advertising scaffolds around buildings, self-illuminated displays, artistic illumination of structures, dynamic multicolored outdoor installations, or upwardly directed laser and other light beams.…”

City Light or Star Bright: A Review of Urban Light Pollution, Impacts, and Planning Implications

Light pollution (LP) is a growing scourge in metropolitan areas yet is largely ignored by planners. It has negative impacts on the health of humans and of wildlife and threatens views of the night sky. This article reviews adverse impacts in multiple categories, highlights mitigation strategies, and makes the case for more engagement in planning scholarship and practice especially in the United States. Defining LP and balancing competing values in its mitigation are political acts, challenged by, among other things, lack of public awareness, the primacy of energy efficiency among factors in decision-making, and the association of more light with greater security.

“…In recent years, architectural lighting has acquired special relevance as an instrument to vindicate the architectural and historical values of heritage, and as a revitalizing economical element linked to tourist and commercial sectors [1]. Its concept has recently changed from a purely functional and security one, to a more qualitative conception that contributes to the embellishment and singularization of the city's heritage [2,3].…”

We propose the analysis of the control systems associated with ornamental lighting applied to the architectural and monumental heritage from our teaching experience developed since 2017 at the University of Córdoba-Illumination Faculty of Philosophy of Córdoba, year 2017, and Center of Experimental Culture in the Plaza de la Corredera, year 2018-and the lighting project of the facade of the Hospital de Santiago de Úbeda, Jaén. The DMX system is the one which mostly fulfill the requirements of this kind of lighting. Its implementation is increasingly simple and is associated in many cases with the type of luminaire to be used and the particularity of differential wiring. This solution allows a personalized, creative, and dynamic control and the adaptation of the daily lighting to different events of singular character. It can be used as an instrument of economic revitalization of the tourist and commercial sectors, and of diffusion of the architectural and historical heritage values. The application of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data could allow the creation of a predictive model that helps the spectral design of light sources and an objective tool that contributes to the confluence of art and science.
