Discussion forum event entitled "Lightscape for sustainable community design" was held on 24 December 2021

On 24 December 2021, Dr. Hiroko Oe, a visiting professor of the Institute, held an event "Lightscape for sustainable community design", sponsored by JSPS-London, and she herself presented "Urbandesign with affordance lighting to create city bustle".

A new method of outdoor lighting, which uses the movement of light to design the flow of people, has recently attracted interest in Japan and around the world as an innovative way to create a bustling city. Under the concept of lightscape, which transcends the developing safe and secure night-time lighting, we will be promoting an international joint research project on this theme under the　supervision of Professor Katsuya Tamai, Leader of Local Community Design, to open up new horizons in urban design.
