The project is part of the EU’s new cluster named “Urban Health”, and consists of an inter-disciplinary consortium of 22 partners, among which the City of Bologna, from 10 different countries, which will perform in-depth studies in three European cities and develop innovative, evidence-based policies in the field of urban lighting to improve citizens’ quality of life.

By establishing an “Urban Lighting Lab” in each target district of the three cities – Bologna (Italy), Amsterdam (The Netherlands) and Tartu (Estonia), the project teams will involve citizens and city officials, to explore the impact of urban lighting on health and wellbeing.
