Starting from November 2017, the use of colored lights and dynamic lights will be prohibited in residential areas, schools, hospitals and other areas in Shanghai.

The "Shanghai Landscape Lighting Master Plan" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") announced in October was announced and implemented. This is the first time that Shanghai has compiled a city-wide landscape lighting special plan. The "Planning" clarified the core area, important area, development area, general area and prohibited area of the city-wide landscape lighting development, and put forward prohibitive, controllable and restrictive requirements.

The "Planning" mentioned that it is forbidden to use landscape lighting facilities that seriously affect plant growth; it is forbidden to install landscape lighting facilities that affect the protection of natural and historical cultural heritage such as gardens and ancient buildings; it is forbidden to install landscapes in national parks, natural reserves, and observatories. Lighting facilities, etc.

In addition, the "Planning" also puts forward the development concept of Shanghai landscape lighting "control total volume, optimize stock, and moderate development". Relevant departments will transform the appearance and adjust the light source to make the Bund, Lujiazui, and North Bund three beautiful pictures of harmony and individuality.

According to the "Plan", the landscape lighting layout of Shanghai's administrative area is "one city with multiple stars". Among them, "one city" refers to the central urban area within the outer ring road, which is the main concentrated area of Shanghai's landscape lighting, and "multi-star" refers to modern new cities and new towns outside the outer ring road.

The layout of landscape lighting in downtown Shanghai is “three belts and multiple points”. The “three belts” refer to the two banks of the Huangpu River (from Wusongkou to Xupu Bridge) and along the Yan'an elevated road-Century Avenue (from the outer ring road to Pudong Century). Park), the banks of Suzhou Creek (from the outer ring to the Bund). "Multipoint" refers to the city's sub-centers, main commercial streets (circles, districts), important transportation, cultural and sports facilities, main roads, public spaces and other important nodes in the central city.

For this reason, the "Planning" also put forward prohibitive, controllable and restrictive requirements in terms of ecological energy saving and light pollution control for the newly added landscape lighting settings.

For example, in the Sheshan Observatory area, the theme should be the observation of the night environment and the dark environment. It is a place to study the starry sky and the universe, and the landscape lighting should not be allowed to affect it. In addition, there are some ecologically sensitive areas, such as Dongtan wetland and urban parks, which cannot be illuminated for a long time. “We do not object to short-term lighting activities, but long-term lighting will affect the rest of small animals, birds and other groups. All proposed corresponding prohibitions."

In addition to "brightness", the "Planning" also sets corresponding control standards for the brightness of different areas.

In addition, the "Plan" also set up strict control areas, control areas and prohibited areas for colored light, and strict control areas, control areas and prohibited areas for dynamic light. Among them, residential, school, hospital and other areas are prohibited from using colored light and dynamic light.

Based on a large number of investigations and studies, the "Planning" also clearly puts forward the goal of building a city with "Chinese characteristics, world-leading" night scene development in the future, and based on the reality of Shanghai's landscape lighting, it puts forward "total control, stock optimization, and moderate development". "Development concept.

For another example, in the Bund area, there are some discordant blue-violet lights. Compared with the warm yellow tone of the whole city, they are discordant in color. Hopefully, they can be harmonized by adjusting the light source appropriately. "Using a saying we often say in the industry, the Bund, Lujiazui, and North Bund will become three beautiful night scenes that are harmonious and unique."

Since the end of the 1980s, Shanghai has begun large-scale landscape lighting construction. After nearly 30 years of development, Shanghai landscape lighting has a great influence both in scale and quality in the country and the world. The night view of lighting has become Shanghai's city card. In the course of nearly 30 years of development, Shanghai Nightscape Lighting has not only made important contributions to enhancing the image of the city and improving the overall competitiveness of the city, but also promoted the economic development of Shanghai, enriched the cultural life of the citizens, and led the national landscape lighting industry. development of.

However, the assessment conclusion also shows that the lack of planning guidance for the development of landscape lighting in Shanghai has led to blind construction in some areas, not many landscape lighting boutiques, uneven regional landscape levels, individual night scene lighting units destroying the overall coordination of the area, and light pollution in some areas. And other phenomena. Shanghai has not prepared a special plan for landscape lighting covering the whole city in history. In order to guide through planning, further guide the healthy development of Shanghai's landscape lighting, and better serve the urban economic and social development.
