Lighting Metropolis I: Evening football, disco dance & luminous pedestrian tunnel
In the Lighting Metropolis project, four grove environments have been transformed with the help of light. A football field in Nöbv has received lighting that attracts both evening matches and disco dancing. Even in Monument Park, along a cycle track and in a pedestrian tunnel, the lighting has been changed so that it is perceived as both more pleasant and safer. Now the ideas can spread to other environments.

In Lund, a large part of passenger transport takes place via bicycle. En el progetto Metropolis Lighting Amongst other things, the municipality of Lund has tried how to make places both more attractive and safe and at the same time provide the opportunity to use outdoor environments even during the dark hours. La focusse ha cambiato da soluciones standardizate a la abilidad de tentar alcosa nuevo. Il subprogetto è chiamato Green Lane and there a few places along one of the busiest cycle routes from Kung Oscar's road to Nöbv torg were selected as test environments. Along the route are many of the challenges facing the municipality in developing lighting for pedestrian and bicycle road users. The trail passes through parks, residential areas, and both over and under heavily trafficked roads.
Susanna Sonesson is a project manager and works at the Technical Administration.
“The vision was to strengthen attractiveness and security and increase people's use of public space,” she says. We wanted to do this by designing, installing and testing new innovative lighting. We also wanted to dare to try new grips that had not been tried before.
In the Hunting Park at the centre of Nöbthere is a football field, which used to often stand unused during the evening hours. Now the place has been transformed into a “Disco plan” where visitors can choose lighting so that there is either white light with brilliant goals for football games or disco lights in many colors for those who want to do other things — and there is also the possibility to play music through a sound system in a seating bench.
Het verlichting op het pedestrian en bicikelweg is gewijzigd, dat het verlichting wordt geplaatst op de vegetatie en niet als gebruik naar een veiliging van anderen. Le camere luce viene više, se potenziale stvari possono se viene, a podem, la sentimento di verrà è stato enhancata. Some trees have been lit. On the way, anyone walking or cycling reaches the Beehive/Beehive pedestrian tunnel, where a warm light shines out of a honeycomb pattern on the tunnel walls. Dazzling luce je a s s a a.
In Monument Park, a soft light is used to highlight the Monument but also the greenery so that the place is perceived as more pleasant. In a passageway along a pedestrian and bike path, sensors are used that light up the park when someone approaches and subsequently dim the lighting to 10 percent.
What conclusions have you been able to draw from the project?
“One conclusion is that a place's identity can be lifted at night using location-adapted lighting,” says Susanna Sonesson. In this way, non-places acquire an identity and become important places and citizens are given the opportunity to rediscover their surroundings. This means that there is incredible potential in our city where, with relatively small funds, we can refine the existing so that new functions and meeting places can be created. An example of that is the disco football field.

The Department of Environmental Psychology at Lund University has conducted a pre- and post-study along the Green Trail. Volunteers have responded to whether they experience the environment differently than before. Resultados a a je.
Design and lighting design has been done by responsible lighting designer Johanna Hernaeus and concept development in Monument Park and the pedestrian and bicycle tunnel in collaboration with lighting designer Andre Maia at Yoke AS in Copenhagen.
