Handling our cultural heritage: Lighting World Heritage Cities - a case study of Valletta

摘要

As part of her studies to gain a Master of Science degree in Light and Lighting from The Bartlett School of Graduate Studies, University College London, Rebecca Degiorgio wrote her dissertation on the role urban lighting plays in historic urban centres taking a closer look at amenity lighting that goes beyond the basic needs of safety. The study focussed on the City of Valletta, Malta and aimed to obtain the perceived diurnal and nocturnal image of the city and relate how designed urban lighting can help solve the problems and address the challenges the World Heritage Cities face.
