Background
The provision of public lighting in informal settlements is challenged by their constant physical transformation. This project focuses on scenario-based lighting design evaluation by linking lighting calculation software and Virtual Environments (VE).
Research questions
What impact do VEs have on the planning of lighting schemes for informal settlements, and do they improve lighting-technology-related communication with policy makers?
Policy relevance
The project evaluates the applicability and consequences of lighting policy within incrementally growing informal environments. Furthermore, it analyses the advantages provided by VEs with regards to the communication of lighting-technology-related issues to policy-makers over common means of communication.
